Frank Field (meteorologist) cause of death

Frank Field (meteorologist) cause of death – Frank Field, a pioneering former WNBC meteorologist and health reporter, died Saturday, July 1, 2023, in Florida. Field died at age 100 and though a cause of death was not stated, he most likely died of natural causes.

Field was born on March 30, 1923, and was of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage. His parents immigrated to America in 1909 and his last name Feld was later Americanized to Field.

Field had his meteorological training at Brown University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He held a B.A. in geology from Brooklyn College, a B.S. in optometry from Columbia University, and an O.D. degree from the Massachusetts College of Optometry. He was on the faculty of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Department of Preventive and Environmental Medicine.

He began his media career in 1958 at WRCA-TV (later called WNBC-TV) and stayed there for nearly 25 years.

He moved to rival WCBS-TV, on August 12, 1984, where he worked for 11 years. He later moved to WNYW-TV for two years before ending his weather forecasting career at WWOR-TV.

Field rose to national prominence when Johnny Carson decided needling “NBC’s crack meteorologist” would be good fun and he became a regular guest on “The Tonight Show.”

Field matched wits with the popular comedian, somehow managing to maintain his dignity and air of authority.
