Award-winning CNN anchor Aaron Brown has died at age 76.
The news network announced Brown’s death on Sunday, according to his family.
The broadcast journalist won widespread acclaim for his coverage of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City ― his very first on-air appearance for CNN. Brown had not initially been slated to go on air but got pulled in amid the frenzy of breaking news, reporting from the roof of the network’s office in Manhattan, the network said in its obituary.
