Sign made his mark in TV news when he broke the news of the infamous 2016 “tarmac meeting” between former President Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Sign, just 45 years old, was found dead by Hoover, Ala., police around 8:13 a.m. Saturday after cops received a call of “a person down” at his home. The former college football player’s death is being investigated as a suicide, Hoover Lt. Keith Czeskleba said, according to the outlet.

“Chris was a tremendous leader in our newsroom,” wrote ABC 33/40, Sign’s outlet, in a Saturday tribute to the reporter.
