NEW YORK (AP) _ A former Emmy-winning television producer who worked with Tom Brokaw at NBC News died Monday after falling from his apartment building, police said.

Police initially reported that the producer, Eric R. Wishnie, was hit by a vehicle that fled the scene, but later they said they had located a witness who saw him as he fell from an adjacent building. The medical examiner's office said it had scheduled an autopsy.

NBC News President Steve Capus said in a statement that Wishnie, 44, was "an enormously talented former senior producer at NBC News, who had a hand in some of the most monumental and memorable news stories of our time."

Wishnie produced numerous stories for Brokaw in the Middle East, along with coverage of the Olympic Games in Athens, Sydney and Atlanta and the first North American interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

He was found in the street in Greenwich Village at about 3 a.m. Monday, and he died two hours later at a hospital, NBC said.

One less vote for the Hitlerbeast!!!

Don't count on it. The Democratic Pary does not feel that merely because a citizen, or even an undocumented worker, is respirationally challenged, they should lose their right to vote for the Democratic candidate of our choice! The Democratic Party strongly supports full civil rights for Necro-Americans!

Not only that, the deceasant is so civically involved that he votes both in New York County and Palm Beach County.

My company’s mail server somehow lost track of me for a while and I couldn’t send or receive emails. I was a non-person. I remember the first email that I sent to a friend had the title, “Despite what you read in Pravda, I did not die in the cosmodrome fire.”

Thank you for providing that information- it explains a lot. The poor devil was a troubled soul.

I will match my credentials against anyone's in my detestation of the Drive-By Media-- but we need to keep a line drawn between the trash they peddle, and the human beings behind it. It's a shame he didn't seek help, or have a friend to guide him to it.
