People Magazine dropped more details on the story:

Alan Komissaroff, the senior vice president of news and politics at Fox News Media died on Friday, two weeks after suffering a heart attack. He was 47.

While exercising at home on Jan. 8, Alan told his wife Rachael that he didn’t feel well, a GoFundMe to support Rachael and her and Alan’s two children shared.

“She called 911, and his heart stopped while paramedics were taking him to the hospital. He slipped into a coma, and never regained consciousness,” the campaign added.

“Alan was the family’s rock. He spent decades as a TV producer in New York; he loved his work, but he loved his wife and kids so much more.”

“Alan was a leader and mentor throughout FOX News Media who was integral to our daily news operations and played an indispensable role in every election cycle. The recent midterm election coverage was easily one of the finest nights of special coverage he produced throughout his career. And he was the ultimate producer: breaking news, politics, special events — there was no steadier or more trusted colleague to be with in the control room during the most consequential events of our time, and his incisiveness and passion for news made our work better,” Scott and Wallace wrote.
