Bob Beckel, a political analyst and former Fox News host, has died. He was 73.

Columnist Cal Thomas shared the news of Beckel’s death via Facebook on Monday afternoon. “We did so many things together and I hope we modeled what two people of different political persuasions can be like when they love one another,” he wrote, in-part. A cause of death was not specified.

Talk show host Sean Hannity also announced Beckel’s death at the end of Hannity on Monday. “We end the show with sad personal news,” he said. “A very dear friend of this channel and a dear friend personally… has died.” Beckel had appeared as a panelist on numerous episodes of Hannity from 2009-2017.
