Beloved sports reporter dies at 41 after fall from LA building – Cleveland.com

Australian sports reporter Duncan McKenzie-McHarg died Wednesday after an apparent fall from a building in Los Angeles. He was 41.
The Los Angeles County coroner’s office told news.com.au that McKenzie-McHarg fell from the top of a building and landed on the roof of another in the central part of the city. He was based in Los Angeles at the time of his death, according to Us Weekly.
His family described his passing as an “unimaginable shock” in a statement released after his death.
“It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Duncan — a deeply loved son, a devoted father to his precious boy Harrison, and a cherished brother to his three siblings,” the family said. “Duncan was truly extraordinary — a man whose positivity, care and humour touched everyone he met, and who sat at the heart of so many lives, bringing warmth, laughter and joy wherever he went. Our Darling Ducky.”
McKenzie-McHarg worked for the Australian streaming service Stan, covering Grand Slam tennis and interviewing top players including Aryna Sabalenka, Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek.
“We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Duncan McKenzie-McHarg,” a Stan spokesperson told the Sydney Morning Herald. “Duncan was a valued contributor to Stan Sport, and our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues at this very difficult time.”
Before joining Stan, McKenzie-McHarg worked for Australian networks Channel 7 and Network 10, as well as Fox Sports U.S, Us Weekly said. His first major role was on the Australian radio station Triple M Melbourne’s “Hot Breakfast” show with host Eddie McGuire.
McGuire told the Morning Herald that McKenzie-McHarg’s death “was heartbreaking and devastating.”
“That he turned his natural happy and kind disposition into a skill set that disarmed the world’s biggest stars and built his international career from scratch brought great admiration from his old mates,” McGuire said.
