Following the deaths of sports reporter Matt Napolitano and Chicago director of operations Adam Petlin, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott reflected on their careers.

"33 is far too young," he added. "My thoughts are with his family, loved ones and colleagues tonight."

Fellow Fox News staff member Petlin also passed away on Dec. 23 following a "brief illness," his family confirmed. He was 58.

In a separate tribute, CEO Scott shared that Petlin was "an integral part of the field and production team and a gifted still and television photographer."
