I'm surprised no one made a thread on this. I'm still shocked as they have not released the cause of death. He was only 39. R.I.P. King πŸ•Š πŸ•Š πŸ•Š πŸ™πŸ½

Los Angeles-based TV anchor Chauncy Glover has reportedly died at age 39.

The Emmy-winning news anchor at KCAL/CBS Los Angeles, and former anchor at ABC station KTRK in Houston, died Tuesday, CBS Los Angeles and KABC Los Angeles report. A cause of death has not been released.


Glover joined KCAL in October 2023 after anchoring the Houston station for eight years, according to his CBS Los Angeles biography. The Athens, Alabama, native also anchored in Jacksonville, Florida, and Detroit. It was an incident in the latter city, where he witnessed a teen die from gun violence, that inspired him to found his namesake youth mentoring program, The Chauncy Glover Project.

The journalist earned three Emmys over the course of his career, including for a 2017 story on Hurricane Harvey, where he rescued a woman in labor and later helped deliver her baby, according to his biography.

KCAL shared a statement from Glover's family on air Tuesday.

"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 statement read. "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 talent, warmth, and vision left an imprint on everyone who knew him, and the world is dimmer without him."

His colleagues Dani Ruberti, Pat Harvey, Juan Fernandez and Suzie Suh also mourned his loss.

"As you might imagine, the news left us all stunned and grieving," Harvey said on air. "All of us are going to miss him so much. Chauncy had only been here a year, but he left his mark on this newsroom and the Southern California community."

Ruberti, who joined the station around the same time, remembered the anchor's infectious laugh.

"He just had this way of making people feel so loved and so special like he walks in the room and you could just feel his heart," she said.

In doing some research on reddit, some are speculating suicide. Someone posted on Twitter that they hope he found peace and he recently took a medical leave. When autopsy completes a case but have not released information, it raises questions. It's been deferred.

Damn! I remember him when was here in Houston on the ABC affiliate. He seemed like a good brother. RIP.
He did a lot for the community, even saved someone during one of the Houston hurricanes and became a God parent.

He was an anchor for ABC Houston then relocated to LA.

I use to watch Chauncy Glover on the news on CBS and KCAL. I was happy to see a brother on the news station not c00ning and sounding like a man when he spoke. Also brother suits and clothes were on well tailored.

My mom called and told me he died. I was wonder where he was, because I did not see him at his regular time and though he was on vacation, but bro died.

Final results are often released up to 30 days after the death due to toxicology reports being backlogged in the system.

I heard he was found in his home. I wonder how Myra Moreno is taking this news. They were close and rumored to have been married at one point
