His death had been expected after he wrote a heartbreaking letter to colleagues, friends and viewers on June 8 that said in part “I have been uncharacteristically silent these past ten months. I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end, but I’m afraid I must tell you now that fate has decided on a different course for me…
“Recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned. There was no sign of it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly. My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live. This is the final verdict. My fight is over.” The letter continued, “I leave this life with no regrets. It was a wonderful life -- full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living.”
In recent years, Krauthammer was best known for his nightly appearance as a panelist on Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier” and as a commentator on various Fox news shows.

50 years in a wheelchair..."I have no regrets. I've lived the life I intended."
Brilliant mind.
A true conservative.
I'm really gonna miss him. What a wonderful mind! God blessed you, Charles. We will always have your wisdom to fall back on!
Fox News was good at covering up his disability on air. One might not have known that he had the disability unless they noticed his unusual breathing and talking pattern, due to his respirator and trachea. I listened to him and watched him for years before reading about his disability, and had just thought he had a breathing disorder, like COPD. I didn't always agree with his take on things, but he always presented an amazingly articulate and intelligent opinion. Yep, I will miss his presence on Fox News.
