U.S. TV sports presenter JIM MCKAY has died. He was 86.
The pundit - who hosted ABC's Wide World of Sports for almost four decades - died of natural causes at his farm in Maryland on Saturday (07Jun08).
He was famed for breaking the news of the killing of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972.
MCKay's son, Sean MCManus, the president of news and sport at rival channel CBS, paid tribute to his father.
He says, "He had a remarkable career and a remarkable life.
"Hardly a day goes by when someone doesn't come up to me and say how much they admired my father."
