The sports world lost a legend on Thursday, as reports indicated broadcaster Dick Engberg died of an apparent heart attack at the age of 82.
The family is waiting for an official word on the cause of the death. According to an ESPN report, Enberg’s daughter, Nicole, said her father didn’t arrive on his flight to Boston on Thursday and that they eventually found him dead at his home in La Jolla with his bags packed for a trip to see his third grandchild for the first time.
Enberg was beloved all throughout the world of sports, but particularly in Southern California as he broadcasted games for UCLA, the Los Angeles Rams, California Angels and most recently the San Diego Padres.
