Alice Stewart, a CNN political commentator who worked on several GOP presidential campaigns, died Saturday at age 58.
The frequent “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer” guest was found outdoors in the Bellevue neighborhood in northern Virginia, law enforcement officials told the news organization.
They believe she suffered a medical emergency and no foul play is suspected.
“Alice was a very dear friend and colleague to all of us at CNN,” network CEO Mark Thompson said to staff in a Saturday email.
“A political veteran and an Emmy Award-winning journalist who brought an incomparable spark to CNN’s coverage, known across our bureaus not only for her political savvy, but for her unwavering kindness. Our hearts are heavy as we mourn such an extraordinary loss.”
