NEW YORK — Emmy-winning CBS News correspondent Harold Dow, who helped shape the documentary program “48 Hours” and covered the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst and the Sept. 11 attacks, has died. He was 62.
Dow died suddenly Saturday morning in New Jersey, said network spokeswoman Louise Bashi. He lived in Upper Saddle River, N.J., but it wasn’t clear whether he had been at home.
Dow had been a correspondent for “48 Hours” since 1990. His nearly 40 years with the network also included reporting for “CBS Evening News With Dan Rather” and “CBS News Sunday Morning.”
A “48 Hours” report on runaways earned him a George Foster Peabody Award. He also won five Emmys, for work that included coverage of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.
