ABC 30/40 (WBMA) Anchor Christopher Sign has died after an apparent suicide.

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.
