LA Anchor Dead at 39 Years Old

KCBS/KCAL Anchor Chauncy Glover is dead.

His family released a statement, "We, Sherry and Robert Glover, along with Chauncy's beloved family, are devastated by the unimaginable loss of our beloved Chauncy," the Glover family wrote in a statement. "He was more than a son and brother—he was a beacon of light in our lives and a true hero to his community." 

Glover joined the station just over a year ago, coming to KTRK in Houston, where he was the station’s first Black male main anchor.

While working at WDIV in Detroit, Glover launched the "The Chauncy Glover Project" as a hands-on, extensive mentoring program that helped transform teenage boys into upstanding gentlemen. 

The program focuses on dressing for success, manhood, etiquette, college readiness, tutoring, public speaking, community service and more. The CGP Gents and Young Gents are 7-12th graders who Chauncy and other mentors met with twice a month for empowerment sessions and enrichment outings. 

"While we grieve this profound loss, we are comforted by the outpouring of love and memories shared by those who knew Chauncy as the passionate, gifted soul he was," the family wrote.  "We kindly ask for privacy as we mourn and honor his incredible legacy. He was taken from us far too soon, but his impact will be felt forever."
