Privacy NoticeThis Morning’s former Hollywood correspondent Sam Rubin tragically passed away from a heart attack, it has been confirmed. Famed for his role as the host of Hollywood Uncensored, Rubin suffered a heart attack after conducting a segment from his home in May. He was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital by ambulance, where he was sadly pronounced dead at the age of 64. In a statement shared on social media on Tuesday night (9 July), Rubin’s employers at KTLA said: “Beloved KTLA 5 News entertainment anchor Sam Rubin died from a heart attack brought on by coronary artery disease, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed on Tuesday.” “Rubin, 64, went to a hospital with stomach pain on the morning of May 10 after calling 911. He was pronounced dead in the emergency room shortly after 11 a.m. In its report, the Medical Examiner said Rubin suffered from ‘ischemic heart disease due to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.'”. “His heart stopped due to a lack of blood and oxygen. The manner of death was “natural,” the medical examiner said. The full coroner’s report was expected to be released by the end of the week. Rubin joined KTLA 5 News in 1991 and quickly gained prominence as one of the nation’s top local news personalities.”

The statement continued: “His vast knowledge of film and television and deep connections made him a celebrity among celebrities in the world ‘s entertainment capital. His sudden death was mourned by millions of Angelenos along with television viewers across the nation and around the world. Rubin is survived by his wife, Leslie, and his children, Perry, Rory, Darcy and Colby.” KTLA, where Rubin was a beloved figure, also confirmed his passing back in May with an equally heartfelt statement: “KTLA 5 is profoundly saddened to report the death of Sam Rubin. Sam was a giant in the local news industry and the entertainment world, and a fixture of Los Angeles morning television for decades.” The network commemorated Sam with warm words: “His laugh, charm and caring personality touched all who knew him. Sam was a loving husband and father: the roles he cherished the most. Our thoughts are with Sam’s family during this difficult time.”

Just a day before his tragic passing, Rubin was on air for KTLA, where he’s been a mainstay since 1991, bagging several Emmys and a Golden Mike award throughout the years. He also received a lifetime achievement award from the Southern California Broadcasters Association.
