TELEVISION WRITER JAY SHARBUTT DIES

Jay Sharbutt, who covered war and television for The Associated Press and brought the same keen intellect and verve to both, was found dead of a heart attack Wednesday. He was 51.

Sharbutt's body was discovered in his Brooklyn apartment by a colleague who was sent there when he failed to arrive at work.

He had suffered a heart attack last year while in Saudi Arabia to cover the Persian Gulf War - an assignment for which he campaigned. - Associated
