Many assume that Harry Gration had a terminal illness like cancer, but the cause of his death has not yet been revealed to the public.

The BBC host had some health issues before retiring as the main anchor for the Look North show. He was reportedly hospitalized for pneumonia-related symptoms in October 2020.

Due to his health complications, the journalist declared that he would be retiring as an anchor for the BBC Yorkshire.

The BBC broadcaster was seen posting on his Twitter just a day before his sudden passing, expressing his remorse and respect for a grieving family, and to think the news of his passing would be on the same media is very heartbreaking.

It seems like the passing of Harry Gration was sudden and most likely from heart failure, which could be highly plausible with his recent pneumonia-related symptoms.

Harry Gration's family has not yet addressed the news of his passing as they are probably in shock and devastated by the sudden passing of their beloved husband and father.

The former BBC journalist was married to his wife, Helen Gration, and had three children with Helen. Gration also fathered three other children from his former wives.

The news of the passing of the former BBC anchor was announced by his former co-presenter, Amy Garcia, on live television, holding back tears since she was close with the former co-worker.

She expressed her deepest condolences to his wife and children.

The official BBC Yorkshire page also paid tribute to their former Look North host on Twitter, saying,

"Our much-loved friend and colleague Harry Gration died suddenly today. We are absolutely heartbroken to give you this news.

Tonight our hearts go out to Harry's wife Helen, their children, and all of Harry's family and friends. "

Harry Gration's former colleague and friend, Zelie Blayer, also paid tribute to the late journalist on Facebook.
