Former news reader Ian Ross has died from Pancreatic Cancer.
As one of Australia’s most recognised news anchors, Ross, 73, had a career spanning more than 50 years across channels Seven and Nine.
The news of his death was announced by journalist Chris Reason. He is survived by three adult children, eight grandchildren, his ex-wife, and his partner of 22 years, Gray Bolte.
In an article on Ninemsn Nine Entertainment Co chief executive David Gyngell described Ross as “the good guy who always finished first. “The Nine and Seven networks and the whole television industry have lost one of our best and bravest in the sad passing of Ian Ross. “That he was universally loved by his peers in as tough an industry as television news says it all. “What’s more, his wide audience also thought the world of him.”
Ross learnt he had pancreatic cancer following a routine blood test late last year.
