Robb Hanrahan, popularly known for being a former anchor at CBS 21 News, has passed away at the age of 60.

According to an announcement on the news outlet's official website, the TV personality died over the weekend.

As of this writing, his family and the network have not announced his cause of death.

Hanrahan has been known in the industry for years as he's been working for the past 38 years. He stopped his duties and retired last year to focus more on his family and health after suffering a "massive heart attack."

The broadcaster worked for CBS 21's weeknight evening and late news for ten years. He covered significant historical events like the presidential elections, natural calamities and disasters, and many more.

Throughout his years-long career, he received big honors in the field of broadcasting and journalism, such as the National Edward R. Murrow Award and other Emmy Award considerations.

He previously worked for WFOR-TV in Miami, Florida, WABC-TV in New York, and WSVS-TV in Miami.

Hanrahan also became an anchor and reporter for WHTM-TV from the late 80s to 1992.

In 2020, the journalist suffered from a massive heart attack and shared his experience in a previous interview with the outlet.

At the time when he was released from the hospital, Hanrahan said he had the most challenging week of his life, but he was able to come home and recover.

"Last Wednesday morning I suffered a massive heart attack. Through divine intervention I was already at the hospital when my heart stopped the first time but the second time I 'coded blue' things weren't looking good," he recalled at the time.

In a separate interview last year, he candidly opened up about his experience, saying he had a vivid dream before suffering from a medical condition.

He later called his wife, Stacey, saying he felt something in his chest and she needed to call an ambulance immediately.

Hanrahan was brought to the emergency room of Harrisburg Hospital, where he was treated and got tested.

There was a time when his heart stopped, but doctors and nurses did compressions until they shocked him.

"I got to this, this point where the whatever was happening and shutting down went through this area of my body and the pain stopped, and all of a sudden everything got peaceful," he said.
