Dominic Di-Natale, a 43-year-old male journalist for Fox News, was found deceased in Jefferson County, Colorado. His death was officially ruled a suicide by the county coroner. Di-Natale, a British native, had a distinguished career as a foreign correspondent, reporting from numerous global hotspots.
On Wednesday, December 10, 2014, authorities discovered Di-Natale's body at a property he owned in Jefferson County. A concerned friend had contacted officials, worried about his well-being due to 'serious undisclosed health issues'. At the time of his death, he was no longer employed by Fox News, having resigned his freelance position on November 30 of that year.
Subsequent reports revealed the depth of Di-Natale's health struggles. He had been quietly dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, diagnosed in 2012. More pressingly, he was confronting a worsening neurological condition. A brain scan had indicated damage potentially caused by concussions he suffered during a mortar attack in Iraq in 2009 and from a bullet that ricocheted off his helmet in Afghanistan in 2011. Friends and colleagues were deeply saddened by his passing, remembering him as an esteemed and dedicated journalist who was always trying to help U.S. troops. There were no arrests or suspects in connection with his death, as it was determined to be a suicide.
