Dick Clark Dead At 82

Sad news today. The TV Legend has passed away today at St. John’s Hospital in L.A. after suffering a massive heart attack. It’s being reported that he was already at the hospital after undergoing an outpatient procedure on Tuesday.

Clark has suffered from a lot of medical problems, starting way back in ‘94 when he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. And, of course everyone remembers the stroke he had back in 2004. He was the mastermind behind, “New Years’ Rockin’ Eve” but he started way back in the mail room of a local radio station. He was quickly promoted to weatherman and then, news announcer.

He is survived by his wife Kari Wigton and his three children.
