Eric Spinato, the head booker and senior story editor for the Fox Business Network, died over the weekend, the network said Monday.

Oliver Darcy of CNN Business reports, “Spinato’s brother, Dean, wrote on social media that the cause of death had been the coronavirus.

“‘COVID took my brother today,’ he wrote. ‘He was a gem and one of a kind. I’m so broken and lost for words.’

“Spinato worked at Fox for nearly 20 years. He joined the network in 1998, before briefly leaving in 2004 to work at CNN and MSNBC. He returned to Fox in 2007 and worked at the company ever since, working primarily with Maria Bartiromo.

“Fox Business host David Asman reported on Spinato’s death Monday afternoon.”
