Ernie Anastos Dies at 82 After Battling Pneumonia, Family Confirms
Sunday, March 15, 2026 - a2zcore.com

Veteran New York City television news anchor Ernie Anastos has died at age 82 due to pneumonia-related complications. Health experts highlight the severe risks of pneumonia, particularly for older adults.

Veteran New York City television news anchor Ernie Anastos died at the age of 82 after suffering complications from pneumonia, according to his family. He passed away at Northern Westchester Hospital following severe lung damage caused by the infection. Born in 1943 and widely recognized as the first Greek American television news anchor in the United States, Anastos began his career in radio before becoming a prominent figure in broadcast journalism. Medical experts note that pneumonia, an acute respiratory infection caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi, can fill the lungs’ alveoli with fluid and pus, impairing oxygen intake and potentially leading to fatal complications, especially among older adults and vulnerable populations. Health organizations including UNICEF and the World Health Organization highlight pneumonia as a major global health threat, particularly for children under five and elderly individuals.
