Michele Gillen, a former South Florida television investigative reporter and powerhouse of local televisions, has reportedly died. She was 66.
Longtime friend and producer Marcia Izaguirre confirmed Gillen’s death from natural causes in a Facebook post Friday.
“For all those who knew her, she was a relentless warrior who fought indefatigably for the vulnerable,” Izaguirre wrote. “In every story she delved into, she aimed to discover the truth and spur change to improve the quality of life of her community.”
Gillen won 39 local Emmys over several decades.
