NEW YORK (AP/WMAL) – The conservative writer and pundit Charles Krauthammer has died.
Krauthammer had announced a year ago he was being treated for a cancerous tumor in his abdomen and in early June revealed that he likely had just weeks to live. He was 68.
His death was announced Thursday by two media organizations that employed him, Fox News Channel and The Washington Post.
Awarded a Pulitzer for commentary in 1987, Krauthammer was an influential voice among Republicans, through his syndicated column and his appearances on Fox News and elsewhere.
Members of his Fox News family have been honoring him on Twitter:

Very sad to hear about Charles Krauthammer…he once told me that he did not fear death but did regret that he would not be around to find out how everything turned out. Everyone loved Charles and for good reason – a very decent man.

There will never be another Dr. @krauthammer – never. His brilliance, humor and kindness brightened the lives of everyone who was blessed enough to cross his path. He challenged me, inspired me and I find it hard to believe he’s gone. #RIP My Dear Friend – I’m better bc of you
