New York City – Just 30 minutes ago, the family of respected journalist and television personality David Muir released a public statement that has left fans and viewers around the world stunned.

At just 51 years old, Muir has reportedly been hospitalized in critical condition after suffering a sudden and severe cardiac event early this morning at his residence in Manhattan.

According to early reports, Muir collapsed shortly after returning from a brief overseas assignment. Emergency services were called at 5:17 a.m., and he was immediately transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he remains under close observation in the intensive care unit.

In a short but emotional statement, the Muir family wrote:

“We are devastated but holding onto hope. David is a fighter, and right now, he is in the best possible hands. We ask for privacy, prayers, and love during this very difficult time.”
