NEW YORK (AP) - Leon Daniel, who spent nearly four decades reporting on wars, the civil rights movement and other domestic and foreign events for United Press International and retired in 1993 as its foreign editor, has died at age 74.
Daniel died Sunday in Glen Ellyn, Ill., from a blood clot in his lung while recovering from angioplasty, according to Judith Paterson, his companion for the past 10 years.
Since suffering a stroke two years ago, Daniel had lived in an assisted living facility near the home of his daughter, a minister in Glen Ellyn.
