Dick Nourse Cause of Death

Former television News Anchor, Dick Nourse has died. He died on May 18, 2023. The cause of his death is yet to be communicated to the public by his family.

In 1980, Nourse learned he had Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, a form of cancer. He was off-the-air and in the hospital for chemotherapy treatment. His co-anchor at the time, Shelly Thomas, interviewed him and his doctor.

Nourse’s doctors were unsure of his chances at survival, but Nourse survived cancer twice ( he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1996) and has since been involved in fundraising for cancer research.

However, Nourse was diagnosed with throat cancer in late 2012; in an interview with competing station KUTV, he said it had gone into remission by early 2013.

Nourse concluded his 43-year career with his final newscast on November 28, 2007, a record term for a Utah television news anchor. Nourse’s longevity as an American news anchor comes second to that of the late Hal Fishman, whose career spanned 47 years.
