Charles Krauthammer - Biography
Charles Krauthammer (/ˈkraʊt.hæmər/; born March 13, 1950) is an American Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist, author, political commentator, and physician. His weekly column is syndicated to more than 400 newspapers worldwide. He is a contributing editor to the Weekly Standard and a nightly panelist on Fox News's Special Report with Bret Baier. He was a weekly panelist on PBS news program Inside Washington from 1990 until it ceased production in December 2013.
In 1974, Krauthammer married his wife, Robyn, a lawyer, who stopped practicing law to focus on her work as an artist, and is among his survivors. They had one child, Daniel, who is also among his survivors. Krauthammer's brother, Marcel, died in 2006.
Krauthammer was Jewish, but described himself as "not religious" and "a Jewish Shinto" who engages in "ancestor worship". He was influenced by his study of Maimonides at McGill with Rabbi David Hartman, head of Jerusalem's Shalom Hartman Institute and professor of philosophy at McGill during Krauthammer's student days.
In August 2017, Krauthammer had a cancerous tumor removed from his abdomen. The surgery was thought to have been successful; however, on June 8, 2018, Krauthammer announced that his cancer had returned and that doctors had given him only weeks to live. On June 21, just thirteen days later, he died of small intestine cancer in an Atlanta, Georgia hospital. He was aged 68.
