A New York-based television reporter died from a brain hemorrhage and heart attack she suffered just after covering a house fire in Queens.

Lisa Colagrossi, 49, was rushed to a local hospital but never regained consciousness.

WABC paid tribute to Colagrossi, stating that, "She was dedicated to telling a story with honesty, a working woman, a hockey mom, she was gutsy and fearless." The news station commended her "authentic, steady, reassuring reporting" that also included a sense of humor. Colagrossi was also a well-respected news anchor.

Colagrossi covered news in the Tri-State region for 14 years. An Ohio native, Colagrossi’s career included stops in Orlando and Cleveland.

She is survived by her husband and two sons.
