New York (CNN Business)Eric Spinato, the head booker and senior story editor for the Fox Business Network, died over the weekend, the network said Monday.

Spinato's brother, Dean, wrote on social media that the cause of death had been the coronavirus.

"COVID took my brother today," he wrote. "He was a gem and one of a kind. I'm so broken and lost for words."

Spinato worked at Fox for nearly 20 years. He joined the network in 1998, before briefly leaving in 2004 to work at CNN and MSNBC. He returned to Fox in 2007 and worked at the company ever since, working primarily with Maria Bartiromo.

Since the outset of the pandemic, Fox has downplayed the severity of the coronavirus. The network's hosts have peddled misinformation about the virus and railed against restrictions put into place to protect public health. While Fox did air a Sunday night special in February devoted to the vaccines, the network's top host, Tucker Carlson, has most recently used his nightly show to undermine public confidence in the vaccines.

8. talk about a toxic work environment

and might I add: 46 years of age is right in the middle of life. He only got to live half his life.

I am curious as to mask wearing within the Fox business offices. I read once that the mask wearing was pretty good, contrasting with their despicable on-air disdain for masks.
