Heartbroken colleagues and friends are mourning the loss of “gifted and consummate professional” CBS-New York meteorologist Elise Finch, who died suddenly over the weekend, just a day or two after appearing on air.

Finch, who delivered the weather forecast on Channel 2 across the Big Apple starting in 2007, died at a local hospital, her employer, New York affiliate CBS station WCBS, announced Sunday evening.

She was 51. Her cause of death has not been determined.

“Elise was a gifted and consummate professional who took great care with her work,” the television station wrote in a statement announcing her death. “She was also a wonderful ambassador in the community, including her hometown of Mount Vernon.”

Finch, whose full name was Elise Dione Finch Henriques, started out as a weekend meteorologist and most recently delivered the weather forecast on the morning news.

Most articles I've seen do not mention her family, but apparently she had a daughter named Grace, though the article in which I read that did not mention her age. Whether a minor or an adult, definitely a sad time for her.

She was 51.

Usually,it seems like sudden deaths at that age are due to heart attacks,but it is usually men this happens to.

My Dad, who lived to age 90, had his first heart attack at age 54. Health issues do seen to become more common some time in folks' 40s and 50s.
