The three-time Emmy-winning journalist and anchor had worked for KCAL for just over a year before his death.
Three-time Emmy-winning journalist and Los Angeles TV news anchor Chauncy Glover died unexpectedly Tuesday, his family announced. He was 39.
Glover had co-anchored the 5 and 11 p.m. newscasts at KCAL with Pat Harvey, and he shared the desk with Suzie Suh at 8 and 10 p.m. for the last year after he joined the anchor team in October 2023.
His family announced the news in a statement to KCAL, writing: "We, Sherry and Robert Glover, along with Chauncy’s beloved family, are devastated by the unimaginable loss of our beloved Chauncy. He was more than a son and brother — he was a beacon of light in our lives and a true hero to his community."
The cause of death had not been made public as of Wednesday morning.
In one of his last social media posts, he shared a video on Instagram highlighting some of his most memorable moments with KCAL. His caption read, "Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going! My first year in #LA on #kcalnews #cbsla in the books! God is good!"
Before he worked with KCAL in Los Angeles, Glover was the first Black male main anchor for Houston’s KTRK, where he was on the air for eight years, according to KCAL.
Glover, an Alabama native, worked in Michigan, Florida, Georgia and Texas before he relocated to California.
One of his accomplishments outside of his journalistic career was founding the Chauncy Glover Project, a mentoring program created to help develop "inner-city teenage boys into upstanding and accomplished gentlemen," its website says. The program focuses on college readiness, etiquette, public speaking, financial responsibility and mental health awareness, among other skills.
"Chauncy’s compassion and dedication to helping others, especially through the Chauncy Glover Project, changed countless lives and inspired so many young men to pursue their dreams,” his family wrote in their statement. "His talent, warmth, and vision left an imprint on everyone who knew him, and the world is dimmer without him."
"While we grieve this profound loss, we are comforted by the outpouring of love and memories shared by those who knew Chauncy as the passionate, gifted soul he was,” they concluded. "We kindly ask for privacy as we mourn and honor his incredible legacy. He was taken from us far too soon, but his impact will be felt forever."
TDS or Covid jab?
Dr Fauci has taken over Dr Kevorkian’s job.
Only now it’s random and non voluntary.
Not so safe and effective.
“In the garden, growth has its seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.”

VERY impressive. I especially like the part of helping kids become “accomplished gentlemen” and learning etiquette, public speaking skills, and financial responsibility. Those are skills and qualities sorely lacking in many minority neighborhoods.
Sounds like suicide to me.
Rest In Peace, Chauncy.
At all.
That .... or, he had something on Hildebeast.
A combination of the two can be deadly.
Very.
Strange last IG post, if he did do that.
RIP, Chauncy Gardner.
They liked to watch.
RIP
That was a great movie.

Am I supposed to give a Shiite?
When I USED to watch local news I watched Chauncey on our local ABC channel.....he impressed me as a nice young man and I enjoyed his broadcasts......didn’t know he left Houston but I’m sorry he passed....RIP Chauncey
Sounds like he off’d himself.
I understand being in despair. But I always want to “see how it turns out.”
Prayers for his family.
Sexual misadventure?
A real cause of about a dozen USA deaths each year - usually accidental strangulation.
Alcohol and drugs frequently involved.
