A learned
about this via Jackie Spinner, former Iraq reporter for the
Washington Post who later wrote a book (and we featured her at Editor & Publisher). He had recently told her that when he heard copters in the sky it always took him back to Iraq--I presume not in a good way. But few details known.
Dominic Di-Natale, a globetrotting journalist whose work at Fox News
Channel and other news organizations took him to Usama bin Laden’s
compound, demonstrations in Egypt’s Tahrir Square and, more recently, to
the scene of racially charged riots in Ferguson, Mo., has died.
The coroner in Jefferson County, Colo., where Di-Natale owned
property, said the veteran journalist took his own life. Officials
discovered Di-Natale's body Wednesday after being alerted by a friend
who knew of his state of mind regarding serious undisclosed health
issues.
Di-Natale, 43, a versatile reporter comfortable at the keyboard or in
front of the camera, began his career as a magazine writer in Portugal
in 1989, making a name for himself with his fearless coverage of the
European drug trade. He returned to the United Kingdom in 1995, where he
did freelance work for several national newspapers before taking a
position as correspondent for BBC World, working out of Brussels, Dubai,
Frankfurt, London and New York.
He began working for Fox News in 2007, covering international news
for Fox News Channel, FoxNews.com, and often contributing to business
and economic coverage for Fox Business Network.
