BROKEN HEART

Two of Larry King’s Children Die Within Days

Andy King died suddenly last week of undisclosed causes, while Chaia King lost her battle with lung cancer on Thursday.

Talk-show host Larry King has suffered a double tragedy: Two of his adult children have died within days of each other. Andy King, 65, died suddenly last week of a heart attack, and Chaia King, 51, lost her battle with lung cancer on Thursday. King, 86, who suffered a severe stroke in May, called them “good and kind souls.”

"Losing them feels so out of order. No parent should have to bury a child," he tweeted. Chaia was his daughter with ex-wife Alene Akins, and he adopted Alene’s son Andy from a previous relationship. In February, King told People: “I don’t have any idea of what 2020 is going to be like. But I can still work and I can watch my kids grow up. I feel positive—and hopeful.”
