KTLA 6 PM Newscast Producer Scott Aulerich died suddenly at the age of 52.

The station says Aulerich was a talented and admired colleague who cared deeply about his family. He’d been working at the station since 1991.

KTLA posted the story about the death of their colleague on the website.

Before watching the video, you must sit through a pre-roll ad at the front of the story. I guess that even when losing a colleague, KTLA figures they will make a few ad dollars first.
