Senior NBC News producer killed in tragic accident…
The New York Post’s Jamie Schram writes about the death of Eric Wishnie…
An award-winning NBC news producer who was married to correspondent Dawn Fratangelo was killed near his Manhattan home early this morning by a hit-and-run driver, police sources said.
Eric Wishnie, 45, a senior segment producer on “NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams” was found at the corner of 6th Avenue and 10th Street at 2:51 a.m.
UPDATE: The Post story is in error but it’s not The Post’s fault. WNBC says that Police now believe Wishnie fell off a roof…

WNBC in New York is reporting that he fell from the roof of his apartment building.
Very Sad.

He hasn’t been with NBC since last September but very sad.

WNBC is also now saying that there appears that no foul play was involved in that fall from the building’s roof and that a witness has come forward who saw him fall. Truly sad.

“WNBC is also now saying that there appears that no foul play was involved in that fall”

Well when you have KO picking up the theory that Pat Tillman was murdered because he opposed Bush on Iraq it really isn’t much of a stretch.
