What caused the death of Jim McKay, a veteran sportscaster?

Media reports said McKay died Saturday of natural causes at his farm in Monkton, Md. He was the host of ABC's "Wide World of Sports" for more than four decades and covered 12 Olympics. He said the single most memorable moment of his career was during the tragic Summer Games in Munich, when McKay told Americans that the raid to rescue Israeli athletes kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists had failed.

He won both a news and sports Emmy Award for his coverage of the Munich Olympics in addition to the prestigious George Polk award. McKay was a World War II Navy veteran and the first on-air television broadcaster seen in Baltimore. "He had a remarkable career and a remarkable life," the Associated Press quoted Sean McManus, McKay's son and the president of CBS News and Sports, as saying.

"Hardly a day goes by when someone doesn't come up to me and say how much they admired my father." McKay was the first sportscaster to win an Emmy Award. He won 12, the last in 1988.
