Newspaper columnist and broadcaster Rod Liddle died on Sunday at the age of 66. His death followed a short illness, and he passed away at The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough. Liddle was a prominent voice in British journalism, contributing columns to The Sun and The Sunday Times.
His children remembered their father as a guide on "how to live an extraordinary life." Rebekah Brooks, CEO of News UK, paid tribute to Liddle, calling him "an inimitable journalistic force" who "challenged conventional thinking and left an indelible mark on British journalism."
