Yet ANOTHER Mainstream Media News Reporter Has Dropped Dead!

Gregory Yee, 33, a Los Angeles Times breaking news reporter, died unexpectedly on Wednesday.

Yee was discovered dead in his Hollywood home.

His family stated that he died as a result of “complications from a respiratory issue.”

According to the Los Angeles Times, Yee joined the Metro team in 2021 as a night reporter.

He was one of 18 reporters on the paper’s breaking news desk, Fast Break.

Here is more from the LA Times:

Born and raised in the Los Angeles area, Yee attended UC Irvine and served as editor in chief of the student newspaper, graduating in 2012 with a double major in Spanish and literary journalism.

“He brought nerve, will, discipline and high ambition to every project he tackled,” said Barry Siegel, who runs the school’s Literary Journalism program. “It was clear to me that Greg would go on to achieve much in the field of journalism, carving out a very special career.”

After a short stint at a newspaper in New Mexico, he covered crime for the Long Beach Press-Telegram and criminal justice for the Post and Courier in Charleston, S.C., where he anchored coverage of a mass shooting in Rock Hill by a former NFL player.

Yee’s work on the shooting story caught the eye of Times sportswriter Sam Farmer, who was in South Carolina to cover the story himself and reached out to him. Yee said his ambition was to work for his hometown paper, and an interview with The Times quickly followed. When The Times offered him a job in 2021, he packed his Toyota Camry and drove cross-country back to his home state in the company of his pit bull mix, Jake.

During his stint in Charleston, Yee reported on the first day of the COVID-19 jab rollout.

Yee’s tragic death continues the disturbing trend of young individuals dying suddenly.

It is about time that people stop making excuses that these are just coincidences and face the fact that these shots are killing people.
