Leslie Griffith cause of death, obituary, funeral:
Leslie Griffith funeral arrangements are yet to be announced at the time of writing this report.
She is survived by her two daughters, Trenton and Carly, an adopted son Eric, and two grandchildren.
In the report announcing her death, KTVU described Leslie as a fearless reporter who often worked in dangerous circumstances, gathering information and writing the stories that gave her incredible presence in live broadcasts.
As a veritable breaking news guru, Griffith became master of the three-ring circus in what can be chaotic situations when a major story breaks.
Like an air traffic controller, she deftly went from one source to another, without script in hand, asking probing questions of newsmakers, experts and fellow journalists.
Whenever a reporter had new information or a new interviewee, she would go to that person immediately to assure the viewers the latest information.
Leslie will be sorely missed.
