CBS News reported that Dan Hicks, an NBC Sports announcer, died at age 64 of an acute illness, according to his wife, ESPN broadcaster Hannah Storm.
Fox News reported that Storm shared news of Hicks' sudden passing from an acute illness. Fox News said Storm called the NBC golf and Olympics voice a "devoted husband and father."
Fox News framed its account as a reaction from the sports world to Hicks' death, and its headline described him as legendary. CBS News described him as iconic in its headline. Both accounts name Storm as the source of the news.
The two reports differ in emphasis rather than in the core facts. Fox News characterized the death as sudden, a word that appears in its headline, while the CBS News material provided for this report does not use that word. Both reports state that the cause was an acute illness.
The reports available for this story do not give further details about the illness, the timing of the death, or where it occurred. Neither report, as summarized here, includes additional statements from family members beyond those attributed to Storm.
