Talk Titan Larry King Mourns After Two of his Children Die in Two Weeks

Aging talk show titan Larry King mourned the deaths of his two adult children, who both passed away within the span of two weeks, in a post to his Facebook page.

His adult son died of a heart attack on July 28th and his adult daughter died of lung cancer only a few weeks later.

As The New York Post reports:

In a post on Facebook, King wrote, “It is with sadness and a father’s broken heart that I confirm the recent loss of two of my children, Andy King, and Chaia King. Both of them were good and kind souls and they will be greatly missed.”

Chaia was 51 and Andy was 65.

“Andy passed away unexpectedly of a heart attack on July 28th, and Chaia passed on August 20th, only a short time after having been diagnosed with lung cancer,” he wrote, “Losing them feels so out of order. No parent should have to bury a child.”

“My family and I thank you for your outpouring of kind sentiments and well wishes,” he added.
