Investigators are awaiting autopsy results to shed light on the death of KTLA anchorman Chris Burrous who was found unresponsive in a seedy motel room in Glendale, Calif. on Thursday, Dec. 27.
Police say Burrous, 43, was with another man at a Days Inn motel when he collapsed. The unidentified man called 911 to report “an individual he was with had passed out and was possibly not breathing.”
Police say the caller, whom they declined to identify, indicated that Burrous died of a “possible overdose.”
First responders administered CPR and transported Burrous to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
In an official statement, KTLA president-general manager Don Corsini and news director Jason Ball remembered Burrous as a “great journalist and a wonderful friend to many.”
Colleagues sent their condolences to Burrous’ wife, Mai, and their 9-year-old daughter, Isabella.
KTLA aired ongoing tributes to Burrous over the weekend, but the station didn’t mention the tawdry details of his death on the air. Viewers learned of the suspicious circumstances of his death from other news media outlets.
Burrous came to Tribune Media’s KTLA in 2011 after working as an anchor for Tribune’s WPIX-TV in New York.
His family set up 2 Gofundme accounts with the combined goal of $125,000 for the anchorman who earned a modest six figure salary.
Burrous’s sister-in-law Rosemarie Do Silverstein suggested Burrous died without leaving insurance or savings for his wife and daughter.
“All funds will be used to help Mai take care of Isabella in the coming days, weeks, and months,” Silverstein wrote in one account.
The other account with a goal of $75,000 was set up by Gigi Graciette, a newscaster at a competing station in Los Angeles, according to Showbiz411.com.
Graciette said the proceeds would go to Mai and Isabella.
“As they mourn and deal with this sudden loss, the last thing they need to worry about right now is how to pay for a funeral, Mai finding a job, bills and other immediate expenses.”
A total of $13,854 has been raised so far from both Gofundme accounts, according to Showbiz411.
??sounds SUSpicious.
He was on dat HAIR-RON.
That’s what it sound like to me …. smh
….and he had no savings and insurance on his wife and child? While making 6-figures? He smoked that savings and insurance. You better believe it.
I would love to see how he looked on air over the years.
“His family set up 2 Gofundme accounts with the combined goal of $125,000 for the anchorman who earned a modest six figure salary”. Poor him made at least $100 grand annually & people are already begging on behalf of his wife & kids. smh.
He looked just like the picture above. Just a regular joe.
What was he doing in a hotel with a man, that’s what I want to know.
Don’t the job automatically give you insurance? Especially since you out in the field etc…
No signs of drug use? Drinking? Disheveled?
My thoughts exactly.
He had a whole job and family yet no life insurance?? Ion believe it
I’m surprised he didn’t have insurance. It’s usually very affordable through your job. Probably 95% of employees get it.
People, please get a policy…even a small one so your family doesn’t have to scramble to bury you.
GoFundMe has become the go-to for errrythang now.
Shameful
The last 3 jobs I worked for did…plus my parents had policies on us since we were babies… Ion believe it…they greedy
I mean, MY job has insurance/benefits in case of MY death. 2x your salary, if I’m not mistaken. I need to look back into it. I know mine is getting something (Almighty forbid) if an uneventful situation should happen.
Sounds like some DL mess gone wrong
Chile… I think they’re just like everyone else trying to scam the public. Wife has 1 kid… Get a job to survive. Should’ve been saving and putting aside a rainy day fund considering your husband’s extra curricular activities ?
Fuggin, suggin and druggin
Godundme is being used for everything. This man makes six figures and they’ll begging for money for him. GTFOH.

I wonder what he told his wife the day of his demise. Like did he tell her he was going golfing or out with some friend’s? Or at the office to follow up on some leads. Then she gets the call and see’s/hears THESE details.
Nobody lives forever in this world. Even if you’re cremated somebody as to pay for it.
She should pay the $1000 for a Memorial/cremation service and call it a day.
Wow did they really say that this crackhead only earned a modest six figure salary. They also have a Go fund me page. I guess his wife doesn’t want to use their million dollar policy to bury him. ?????
I pray this man didn’t die in a down low relationship. ?????
Sounds like heroin
She was living off him so he probably was the controlling I’ll do what I want and you shut the hail up type attitude.
That’s how I feel too… Scammers
Ok…a modest funeral can be done for less than $5k in my state
I’m thinking it, but I’m going to ?.
Based on how he was found & who he was with, wife probably wants to just dig a hole & toss him in it. That can’t be more than $45.
Exactly. Spend what you can afford and don’t get in debt trying to impress people.
No, always pleasant on tv & in public when you met him. This is very shocking.
interesting. I heard another news anchor passed away this weekend as well. Another new anchor well meteorologist comitted suicide.
The devil is busy very busy!
I hope his family gets the real answers and are able to start the healing process
If this guy turns out to be a scoundrel I’LL help her.
Most deaths always are.
Right…Dump his ashes down the sewer drain like ol girl did on Empire
I believe it. Because I’m SURE she knew about the drug use.
They got help… They have almost reached their goal
How could she not, she has female intuition.. And if you don’t know how your husband moves and notice changes in his behavior then something is horribly wrong.
True. But I’d like to help her supervise the burial/disposal.
“And take THAT…!”
? ? ?
Mai better make herself an appointment at the clinic too
Hmmm…sounds like he was on the down low. Interesting, because the media and some blacks would have you believe this is something that only black people deal with because we believe in “White Jesus”.
Also, it’s interesting that he didn’t have an insurance policy. They’re like $10 a month.
It’s actually like doing a community service! By helping her manage her grief she won’t need to spend endless hours in counseling.
LMAOOOOOOOOO THIS!
His family is scamming chile.
He probably controlled the bank accounts so she doesn’t have access to withdraw money for basic necessities. Controlling men tend to marry submissive women who don’t question them.
Yeah, I’d say it was negligent on his part to not have insurance, especially having a young child. A 20 year term policy for a man his age (43) is not very expensive at all. He probably could have easily gotten like $500k in coverage for well under $100 a month.
They said he didn’t even have an insurance policy, which is crazy. He was making all of that money and wouldn’t even invest into a policy, that would have helped his family, at a time like this. Smh. My prayers are for his daughter. Innocent babies are always the ones who pay the price for stupid parents decisions. And why didn’t his wife rake out an insurance policy on him? I would have. And if he was using drugs AND a double lifestyle, she should have ran down to an insurance company and got some on him.
???
On dope and undercover gay and black women trying they best to get with these sickos
Exactly!
I couldn’t be married to a man if I can’t take him at his word. It’s not enough to ask where he’s going or where’s he’s been. I would take his car to my mechanic to install a tracker. I would install keystroke loggers on his computer/laptop to access his passwords so I can log into his social media and read his direct messages. I would clone his phone number so that every time his phone rings, my phone rings too. If he had a secret phone, I would clone that too.
Maybe thats why im not married because that would NEVER fly, with someone like myself. I’m TOO nosey not to know about his bank accounts and what’s coming in and going out. I may not check his cell phone or where he is at all times, but heck yeah I want to know what’s in that darn bank account.
Yep on the low down . I still haven’t received my taxes for this year ? I’m not hurting but I need my $7,7??.??
She may have been on those prescription drugs, to hard, to even care or notice. We all know a soccer mom or two, who stays high everyday, all day. And usually it’s either c0ke, prescription pills or both.
Yep. And the crazy thing is, lot of heroin is being cut with fentanyl nowadays, and the people using it usually have no idea.
Theyre basically playing Russian-roulette with their life… and too many times, it ends badly.
And that’s why I wouldn’t give them a wooden nickel. Why didn’t she go get insurance on him, is my question? If he was too irresponsible to get it, she should have went and got some on him. Now look.
You still have to apply for it.
Sad. Makes you wonder, what did people do before Gofundme?
???????? OMG!!
Unk Unk would do it for a six pack of blue bull and two packs of Newports. She ain’t even got to spend that $45. She’ll have enough change left over to have his repass at McDonald’s.
A lot of these white people are on hard drugs and prescription drugs at the same time, but are able to function at work. I think i know the signs now, excessive talking, can’t sit still, drinking cofee all day long so they can stay high, smh. I’ve worked with several and always say to myself ‘this nut has got to be on something’.
Just Not Worth it!!!
Sis, they gone. You better put up a GoFundMe to get’em back. LOL
If u need to do all that, I think your money would be better spent getting a divorce.
I am crying laughing at this comments. Y’all ain’t shït!!??????????????.
She might read these blogs and be like “You know what, Fvck it, Imma get Bubba to dig a hole right in the back yard and be done with it”. She could just throw a cook out, in the same backyard, for the repass. Have the grill already heated and everything.
I was thinking the same thing. The only time a woman needs to do all that is if she’s trying to gather evidence to use against him in divorce court.
Sandra– Are you familiar with the controversy surrounding B. Smith? Well, she has Alzheimers and her current husband has moved his new girlfriend into her home and is claiming B. Smith is ok with it. Can we get that story? @realsandrarose:disqus
I would install keystroke loggers on his computer/laptop to access his passwords so I can log into his social media and read his direct messages.
______________
My ex coworker did that to his wife. Bish had bill collectors calling HIM at work. She opened up cc’s in his name. Did pills, cheated. Didn’t work. He was the bread and butter for the house. Bankrupted the KID’S CD’s and savings. He was losing weight. Walking around with the soles of his shoes FLAPPING in the wind because SHE controlled the money that was brought in. It was quite interesting to see. They have since moved to Florida. How they’re doing, IDK.
That’s too much work.
So I guess dumping him off the nearest bridge isn’t an option?? All she’ll need is gas money for that. Maybe go to the dollar General and get a wreath for good measure. ?
As a male friend of mine told me years ago,
“The truth is always in the phone.”
Its sad we live in a world where we can’t trust people’s word, and all this technology has made it easier for people to be deceitful.
shoes FLAPPING

Huffin on that helmet.
Ooooh, the Dark, Evill, Seedy life of the Black guys I have had relationships with!!! So, some Black guys Are also Sickos.. Death Is the only thing Stopped the two I Know!!! Fact.
He probably didn’t do anything for them when he was living.
…and yes, he was a weak man. Had a soft ass voice. You could TELL she ran things. He was a sweet guy tho’.
Colour me surprised someone in the entertainment industry died of an overdose and in other news water is wet.
Chile way too much ??? Chile
People pinched in as a family or got a loan and buried the person back in the day. They know the world is full of suckers so why not use Gofundme.
Girrrl yes
They are antsy like on speed but sedated to focus probably ADD so on Ritalin to focus its so weird but funny as hell
My goodness Sandra? If you can’t take him at his word, why would you so all that?
No savings for his family or insurance? Damn Chris.
if ANYONE has to do all that in any relationship, male/female, male/male, female/female, male/female/male etc etc … let it go.
That is way to much.
So this fool living on the edge…where is the money going Mai?
Six figures is not modest!
Sounds like my gay Egyptian hubby
I wonder why he was in a seedy motel with another man? Ladies, there are a lot of down low men out here using their wives and children as their ‘beard’. I’m not saying this man was on the dl, it just seems suspect.
Unfortunately Sandra everything you said you’d do; he could still avoid getting caught. Tracker//leave car at his job, she picks him up. Computer- a computer you don’t know about. Alias name on social media. If it’s a secret phone….you wouldn’t know…IT’S A SECRET!! A smart cheater wouldn’t get caught.
I would cremate him. You out here getting your backs blown and doing drugs? Plus he didn’t leave her anything smh.
Chris was spending all his money on drugs and cheap motel rendezvous.
Down low brother with a possible drug addiction ?
My mom’s homegirl’s husband made a baby on his lunch break. Home on time, check was right but he was bussing ole girl down for lunch
$125K is excessive. Let’s hope she was working as well.
I’m sick of these folks using gofundme as an insurance policy he made enough money to have life insurance it’s always the people that have a little more than others that end up leaving their family members to figure shiii out when they die! I’m tired of these celebs and IG “celebs” flossing every penny and dime they make along with designer everything then when something happen first thing they do is set up a go fund me. Gofundme was for entrepreneurs who needed funding to jump start their business or to help keep their business you also needed to have a plan now folks using it as a burial and hospital policy it’s crazy!!
That’s why I cheat too ?????
Where you getting insurance for $10 monthly?
I saw where someone posted him and his new girlfriend who is white but I didn’t know why they were posting cuz I didn’t take the time to stop and read smh ????? Low down dirty scoundrel
I would plant his azz as a tree…
Hookers and drugs… ????. Then still have the nerve to ask for 6 figures in donations. It’s time to downgrade not try to keep up with that lifestyle you used to living.
Lmfao.. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
I would throw his ass in a ditch and leave him there.
U just mad he wasn’t blowing your back out.
Also sounds like he may have been having some ghey secs whilst getting high I suspect this is why they didn’t disclose the male callers identity. Funny how they will respect and protect a white person even in death but had this been a black male the headline would have read black news anchor dies of a drug overdose in a seedy motel with his male lover calling 911 to try and save his life leaves his wife and children broke and destitute without having any insurance or savings. Coworkers remember him as being antsy and all over the place in recent years.
You’re employer. And that’s a plan for a couple hundred thousand (which is what they are trying to get through GoFundMe).
Or that he didn’t have one thru his work.
Right, and they all darn near have anxiety and taking xanax, depression meds. uppers and downers, just a mess.
??????
You should never be married to anyone you had to do all that to just to have some form of trust. But if I EVER suspect my husband of cheating I am calling YOU my friend. Lol this tickled me so much!!!
He pbly died doing what he loved.
I can believe this. Most affairs occur at work. We had a scandal at my job recently. Three employees- 1 man involved with 2 women at work. ALL OF THEM MARRIED.
ghey secs
____________
LMAOOO
??
Exactly!
Boy he went out in a blaaaaaaze of shame…
Ooooooo this burns me up! Cuz
Men will find time for some bullshii and the women they sleep with help them. Women we be trying to get more time in a day to cook dinner have a career and keep house while they got all the time. See if they ya to share some responsibilities around the house like help pick up the kids or cook or pick up dinner help with chores their ass would be too tired to find a way or wouldnt have time us women give them time by catering to them. If I work 8 hours a day and he do too we splitting chores and everything else now if I was to be a stay at home then that would be different and I would keep him having something to do
Pbly got declined once they did a
Physical and realized he did hard drugs.
SMh that’s cuz we spend more time at work than at home which is why I no longer dedicate 80 hours every two weeks to a company you miss out on important events and time with your family.
You said that!
She should just ask his “companion” to cover it at this point.
Auntie you gone get a restraining order put on you! That’s them signs of cray cray if you gotta do all that then LEAVE!! You only trying to prove what you already know or suspect is happening.
Cheatback all 2019???
Lmao.. You made me choke. Does she really want to spend that extra $1 though.
You know what he was doing.
Maybe it’s a Hotel botched job? This is Hollywood…
You don’t even have to do all that. You wanna know all the good and bad crap your man is into? Search History. All the mess is in their Google.
Idk what’s so confusing. He was on the DL and an opioid junkie at the same time. Both are epidemics in the white community yet Black people are the face. They don’t have an over 80% usage rate for nothing. ?????
This happens all the time at my work.. Like ALL the time. I personally find everyone at work gross.?
?? bringing the shiii back home to his wife literally! And I’m sorry you can’t live with ancrackhead and not know they a crackhead! His wife knew she didn’t care as long as she was able to stay at home and not work but part of her job as a stay at home was to keep the bills and finances in order she was suppose to do the accounting therefore she would have known there was no life insurance and that he was spending money and it was unaccounted for.
Damn?
????
As in plastic surgery??
Umm hmmm that thought crossed my mind too!! Folks been scamming a lot on gofundme
He was doing what he loved….the shame is on his family
you can’t live with ancrackhead and not know they a crackhead
_______________
Bingo!
Geesh Auntie that’s sounds like a full-time job in itself but woman do this all the time almost like they get a rush out of it. Couldn’t be me though, If I had to do all that I already know the answer to my questions and suspicions. It’s either time to pack my bags or look the other way and play dumb. I rather do the former.
Not according to the story…she needs that to pay bills and time to find a job…she probably get high too and some of it will go towards easing her pain
And having raw booty sex and then going home to their wives and doing their vagina raw..
I was watching a YouTube video about opioids and I kid you not every white person was talking about their habit. They were supporting one another and normalizing their addictions. They walk around here as pilots, doctors and whatever else job their grandparents friends brothers son got them that they’re disqualified for high! Never any of them have been torn from their homes, spending close to life sentences in jail, forced to resign form their jobs, their family structures are still in tact as is their Lilly white communities. They can pretty much do whatever they want.
Double life..
WHY did I lol at this it’s not funny but the way you put it made me chuckle
lol booty sex
Nooooooo!!! Like my momma said yo boy using my money for the nuts and bolts for the wall ??????
Well damn he was a busy man a nasty one too. It’s bad enough you cheat but you got comfortable in the puss and went raw. smdh
This Go Fund Me crap is ridiculous. What has happened to having a little pride and dignity? He made a six figure salary. He has life insurance through his employer. Are we supposed to be stupid? The child will get social security. I’m seeing to many people open Go Fund Me pages to continue living the “lifestyle” they had. If there is a death of a spouse…get a job like the rest of us. Take care of your own kid…like the rest of us. The wife knew her husband was a down low drug addict. Should have left him. You gets none of my hard-earned money.
OK he was living his best life while the wife was st home watching the kids playing like she in the movie birdbox turning a blind eye to everything going on
She has life insurance through his employer. I’m sure there are other policies. The child will get social security. They ain’t broke!
this cheating drug addict stepped out on his family and died in a motel up another mans bum and they are creating a gofund me account, for what? stop rewarding these devils after death; there is nothing more to look into
Mine either. I bet their home ? is better than mine.
??????preach I literally just thought wait a minute he most likely had insurance through his job even some of the lower paying jobs offer life insurance I smell a scam
They have so many opiod documentaries, but i refuse to feel sorry for them. The ball is indeed in their corner.
Better than most the people donating
me too. I never gave to it and I never will.
She knows he has life insurance through his employer and probably some other policies. She just wants to live the lifestyle of a six figure kept woman. She knew that man was gay and on drugs.
I just pictured all of this ?
If you have to do all that there is no sense.. I hear you though.
I’m not moved ?
I’ve given a few times. The last time I gave I felt robbed. I found out there was a household full of able bodied adults who weren’t working. If rent is due, go to a retail store or fast food restaurant but get a job. I’ve done it!
lol make it even
??? not the least bit!
Comfortable? Prolly never used a condom prolly started out raw!
Really…No Insurance…an Anchorman for many years with a family does not have life insurance…he could not afford 50-60 dollars a month to insure if family would be taken care of when he out there doing his sleazy regular with his underground side chick. Like I said before Go Fund Me is the new death insurance and better life policy….if you do not feel like working for it…just open an account with a sad story.
New post, please?
I’ve had several surgeries and deal with chronic pain but I steer clear of opioids. I take the meds after surgery and don’t get refills. Tylenol is my best friend. Opioids are a white people problem. Let them deal with it. They let crack destroy our neighborhoods. Now opioids are taking their children and destroying their perfect little white homes. I don’t wish bad on anyone but this ain’t a black people battle! All we need to do is sit back and watch…like they watched us get destroyed by crack!
Very true!
Wow! You don’t play around.
Men treat you better when you cheat on them. It’s something about having another peen waiting in the wings keeps men on their toes. When you are faithful that’s when you are vulnerable and they become accusatory, fussy, jealous and even cheat. smdh lol
Rub their pennies together. Might’ve taken 6-8 weeks to bury the person, but at least people weren’t begging complete strangers.
his underground side chick
________________
underground MAN! It was a man, baby. LOL
wow! 80,000 has been given so far.
Sad really. I hope he’s ok wherever he is.
At all.
I’m sure he has life insurance through his job. It comes automatically for free with most large employers. They’re just trying to get our money.
Lol
I wouldn’t pollute the earth like that. That dope he had in his system would get into the soil and poison the tree you’re trying to let grow. NO! I say put his ass out for the buzzards, vultures, wolves, coyotes and bears to have a go.
Car washes and bake sales
I would go tear it down brick by brick, until I got my coin. LOL
There are a lot of down low white men who get with white women to have a family. The woman knows but she wants a husband and a nice lifestyle. This druggie has automatic life insurance through his employer. The Go Fund Me account is just plain greed. Do people have to pay taxes on this money? She’s going to make a killing just because he was a high profile anchor despite the fact that he died a druggie having #nal!
Days Inn. Wow those r still around. I remember from back in the day if u went 2 days inn u thought u hit it big. If u went 2 the hemsley hotels u were rich.

I would take his car to my mechanic to install a tracker.
^^^you can order one online and put it under the spare tire. Works just as well

I KNEW something was up when they mentioned the type of hotel he was at. I wonder if the guy he was with was a dealer, or a trick who brought some stuff with him…
Omg I have a friend who dated this guy. She said she was falling in love after a few months. She said he was paranoid and was always going thru her phone but she didn’t mind because she had nothing to hide. One day she got fed up and took his phone. He hovered over her but let her go through his messages. She said she ran down the hall and locked the door and started going through his photo gallery. She said he kept banging and screaming open the door. She found several penis pics in his phone. She opened the door and asked was he gay he said no his boys were playing a prank and sent him all the d pics. She kicked him out and got tested the same day. She was fine but it took her a whole year to start dating again. My heart went out to her that day. You never know. Some men don’t consider themselves gay if they’re the ones providing the d. Smh.!
. … And now, let the chuch say “Amen” ?? ?? ?? ?? ??
I’m screaming! ? ? Your comment is epic! ????
?
? dang Auntie what happened to trust??
In that order.
Right ? I’m kinda scared now
This sounds crazy. Omg
Yaaaas!!
Burrous’s sister-in-law Rosemarie Do Silverstein suggested Burrous died without leaving insurance or savings for his wife and daughter.
****
Irresponsible men are an abomination to humanity. I can’t stand men who completely have no regard for their wives and children. What a loser he was living reckless without a care for his family. At six figures he should have at least provided life insurance and at least modest savings.
Can we leave stories like this in 2018? Can 2019 focus on black/negro/African American CELEBRITIES (with an actual talent or contribution to black entertainment – that does not include reality television?) and their endeavors? I would ask if it’s a slow news day but I’ve seen other mainstream yt blogs covering the black celebs that should be on SR. ?
I control the money in my relationship and I’m not even married
These are the type of games that they play. At my old job this white girl got hired, right out of college with no experience, to be an office manager. Two years later she lands a cushy gig as a counselor, at this highly coveted charter school. The job called for a masters degree and previous experience. This chick had neither but got the job. Her dad knew the director at my old job, and the principal at the charter school.
I don’t condone the DL lifestyle it’s selfish but reading the comments you can see why some men are ashamed to own being bisexual which is sad they care so much about what others say and think of them
Talk about it! I tell him, I’ll mind my busuness if you mind yours.
This story will be more about drug use than his choice of lover. Believe that. This guy will get all the sympathy in the world for being a drug addict while our ppl are subjected to judgment and ridicule and often prison. I’m sorry he died this way. We all have demons to face. His got the best of him but nobody’s are any more serious than the other’s. We live daily under the gun and nobody has sympathy for us. RIP Mr. I hope your daughter will be ok. Sadness for her. Most cases the wife knew and ignored what she knew. She was his enabler but didn’t know how to stop it.
Oh nah!
I just found some steel toes too lmao
*side dude, but yea to everything you said !
Yep ? and poor “Mai” had no clue. I don’t understand why making six figures and not have insurance. Sounds like the sister-in-law is looking for a payday. ?
I just dropped by to say that this is the 3rd news anchor that’s been ‘found dead’ within days of each other.
a white man with a decent job & a family found in a janky hotel with a man DEAD after getting high all night & they create a go fund me for this demon ?! AMERIKKKA?????
Yep. They live in a $750,000 house. The go fund me requests a total of $125K which is suspected of being his salary. The friend who set up the 2nd go fund me mentioned that his wife shouldn’t have to “worry about finding a job” while she grieves. They are trying to raise enough for them to continue their lifestyle for a year.
Tims? LOL
Melanated people are not the face of opioids. What whites consider “poor drugs” like crack cocaine, yes. But it’s widespread knowledge opioids is represented by whites. That’s why it’s considered an ”epidemic” and so much is being done nationally to advocate against and eradicate it. I’m sure if it was a melanated persons drug, no one would give a f*ck. They sure didn’t do anything when the crack epidemic hit, and still aren’t doing anything.
Mai tai better get her butt to work.
Lol y’all laughing but the keylogger and gps tracking is how I caught my ex being gay, having a side chick, and frequenting strip clubs. Yes, it’s sad as hell I had to do all that, but sometimes you need proof of your suspicions to cut loose and gotta do what you got to do. I don’t date liars anymore, though.
Mai is the daughter lol
Puhlease. She can grieve while looking for a job. Interviews don’t last all day and the sooner she begins accepting her new reality, the better. At least that’s what they think about us when our family members die. She can sell that house and keep it moving. A gofundme is not needed in this situation.
Ignant…right on into 2019!!?????
I hatechall tuhday!???
Omg…hateful!?????
Wow…yall are rough!????
And that’s the rock gut truth **iyanla voice**
The bible has better stories. Cain murdered his brother abel. Lot side chick becomes pregnant goliath bullying david delilah using her feminine wilds 2 seduce samson n a whole town gets destroyed for sexual fornication. Can’t wait for Wednesday night bible studies or church Sunday morning.
Did the drugs come from Mexico so dump can put out a tweet for the advancement of his wall.
?at your headline
Straight run on…that’ll take up half the front page in a large bold font!????
I did pretty much all of this and found out what I already knew: he was cheating. Now I won’t waste my time.
Isabella is the daughter.
He probably fed her to a gator by now.
Roger Friedman, of Showbiz411, said Chris also owns a 1,660 sq. ft. house that he purchased for $370,000 cash. That sounds like his bachelor pad to me.
Well…in LA he must’ve been slummin’ in that residence when he visited.
??
Getting that double pipe action.
Like, maybe his boy toy gave him a hotshot?
Lazy bish.
Or vice versa. LOL
Sicka folks! LOL
Yep she trying to get a cut
Sounds like the sister-in-law had been TELLING Mai’s ass to leave him long before now.
Betta watch how y’all be talking to auntie on here ??
Yep and they would make it fit!
How was SHE going to pay for it? They (from what I gathered in the read) done made her out to be the jobless, broke, naïve, unknowing housewife. JUDGING by her name, there’s a spot for her in the back of somebody’s nail salon giving happy endings. IJS

I sure hope you was not having sex with those guys but yes it’s sickos every where you need a real forward thinking dominant black man. Is that your pic above?
Went to a club last night and parked in the parking lot of one. LOL
And don’t forget, Ezekiel saw a wheel way up in the middle of the air. Which from MY gathering is what WE call a (alien) spaceship.
Yea ? those ?
I knew it yup
Haha!
? very true
It sounds like he became such a degenerate that he disenfranchised his family. Probably cashed out the life insurance and spent the savings. Sounds like he royally scr-wed over his wife and kid.
Yup…. We done heard plenty stories.. But the obvious would be what everyone has been saying… but I was just throwing out that possibility as well..
This racist society believes every other kind of woman is above struggle and that only black women should struggle.
Exactly. Opioids is the aristocratic addiction of whites the addiction that gets sympathy. Racism is so sick it places status on white junkies.
BOLD BOLD
LOL
It’s possible he was such a lowlife that he cashed out the life insurance and depleted their savings. Rich degenerate white men leave their once well to do families penniless all the time. I think the go fund mes set up for them sound desperate like he depleted his family. You’re right, they’ll be ok but his wife is dreading downgrade to working class and lower middle class life.
Naw u didnt. U gonna have me strolling looking for one.
They out there. Surviving. LOL
??????
I wonder how many married women gonna b skurred straight 2 go 2 the doctor n get a STD n HIV test during their annual physical for 2019.
McDonald’s is always hiring. Isn’t tbat what they always say 2 black people. They always directing us 2 the lowest paid jobs. She can pick some strawberries in the fields since the Mexicans r gone.
I wanna say he was smoking some strong biblical ?. But l aint trying 2 get struck by lightning.
Ok ok
Ok… she can find out all our info through our IP addresses!
Ohhhh
I do that regardless.
Got the wrong party pack that night
Omg. Sounds like he was a sex addict. Glad you found out before he gave you something.
LOL!
They called that biblical bush “tares”. LMAOOOO
If you die without insurance and have been making 6 figures for almost 20 years than you deserves to be cremated and your spouse should get a damn job.
Smh a fool and his money is soon parted. Isn’t that how the saying goes? Must be a bunch of them donating to that GoFundMe cause chileeee….
They really do. They don’t even believe women of color feel pain. They still see us as animals – lower than animals cause these days they don’t even treat their animals this way.
Ain’t that crazy?
No, he wasn’t an addict of anything. He was just a garbage human being.
Yep we r suppose 2 but some married women don’t wanna do it bcas they think if they do it they dont trust their husband. Then they worry bout how is he gonna react when l tell him l have something
Did l lie.
U on your way 2 church right now for midnight services. Toooo funny.
Imagine my husband found dead in a hotel with a man, his azz would be buried out there in the ocean.
A lady man ?
They should’ve sold that instead of asking people for their hard earned money… Trifling
Probably all news fans. Suckers
Rub some honey on him you say??
Damn…. I’m tellin y’all to do the finger test on these men. If he don’t trip then he’s suspect
You little nasty ?
Lol
I think I would set His corpse on fire and send the ashes to his mammy and pappy!!??
The wife is stupid ass hell. She should’ve made sure everyone in her family was covered with life insurance. Furnerals are too damn expensive.
With that being said the privilege clear heffa wouldn’t get a dime if my coins!?
that nikkah was fuk**g ho’s and over dosed case closed
People who create GoFundMe accounts to raise money for funerals, really irritate the phck out of me. Take your broke @$$ down to the local crematorium and call it a day!
I wish men would treat their wives and children with some respect and stop humiliating them. Now the wife is embarrassed that this fool was out humping men doing drugs and living a double life.
But isn’t a state burial free or is it cremation?
Every state is different. I know social security pays $255.00 for burial in all states.
In NY they have burial funding for murder victims, but there are guild lines. Like I think the person could not have been doing something that they know could cost them their life. Like being in a gang, robbing someone or something violent. I forget?????
But there’s only certain guidelines that they will pay for the funeral services of a murder victim.
Not sure bout Cali ???
But these mofo was a news anchor, I’m sure he had to have something with job he had. He was wasn’t slumming it. Plus every employer has accidental basic life insurance rather you increase it or take the minimum they offer. ?????
Jaw-dropping drama.
I most definitely got checked and Keep my appointments with my doctor!!! Where is Your picture?
I knew a woman who married and Divorced 2 brothers!
Everyone is overlooking that $125,000 a year with benefits amounts to nothing if a crackhead husband cashed out the life insurance and depleted the savings. I guarantee the last thing in the world his upper class suburban wife would want to do is beg on gofundme if she didn’t have to. He probably owed dealers and drove them into debt and she didn’t even know.
LOL. Point. Blank. Period.
He was probably robbing peter to pay paul literally and taking out loans to keep up the upper class family appearances to deflect his wife from his other life. They’ve probably been broke a long time and she didn’t. Not just from his drug use and side men friends, but also because double lives cost hush money. He was giving all their nest egg away.
Absolutely!!
?
? DAMN!!
? you did too ???
White kids, stay at home wives, and white professionals are the face of opioids.
I feel You! No surprises because of his foolishness.
Probably not. I was just thinking it would be a nice touch to see the wreath floating, where they dumped him. It would take the attention off of all the trash floating around him.
Smh
Nasty, isn’t it? I knew the brothers too. They were civilized to each other, yet not friendly. At least they didn’t fight[not to my knowledge].
There’s still accident life insurance through the employer that he can’t touch. I don’t know the correct name of it but it’s life insurance that job gives for free, it’s a small amount though, but it’s something.
So true. What the hell was he thinking???
Blocked
Believe me we would all like to block you but I will settle for tormenting you the same way you torment us.
You got getting blocked because you use personal insults while I use logic and facts
You got that right. Hang on to your money. We’re not hearing the entire story yet.
The home is outstanding!! He posted a home video on Christmas Day of the fine foods they would be eating. The numerous Christmas trees.
So…..was this anchorman a closet gay? With a closet drug problem?? No one knew at all.
I hope the entire story is shared with the public. If he was with a drug dealer….dealer is not going to call 911 when he killed over
??????
Who were the other two?
Bre Payton of Fox News and Rick Anderson of the Seattle Times
ITA. A drug dealer wouldn’t rent a motel room to shoot up with a junkie.
I am not even married, but eff that. I know a girl who’s husband gave her herpes.
Link please.
Neither KTLA nor any of the other local L.A. stations are investigating anything at the moment…I’m guessing if it wasn’t one of their own, we would know all about his “male friend,” how many times he stayed at this hotel, and there would be interviews with the staff there, etc. etc. – instead, nothing. And the guy is being made out to be a saint, followed by family/friends setting up two GoFundMe accounts to take advantage of his viewers’ before anyone knows the truth. They’re also making out his family as if they’re the first ones ever to suffer a sudden loss and deal with the financial burdens. The whole thing is messed up.
I knew it
It’s at his Facebook account…
https://www.facebook.com/ChrisRBurrous/videos/131692271088842/
we did it for my mama and family and friends contributed as they should. i will always help those in need as i am able to. thats all people are asking. trust we will all need someone to help us at some point in life whether financially, physically or otherwise. your time will come.
this man wasnt squat though. his family should cremate and pocket whatever they need to carry on. just my personal opinion. no need wasting time and money on a funeral and burial production for a lowlife loser.
in ga, burial is free.
exactly. no burial needed. they could keep him at the morgue, donate him to science, feed him to gators. i dont care.
the saying goes the words should match the actions, SO, his word better match these std results.
its ridiculous. she should be happy thats one less expense to worry about after his death. no funeral or burial needed.
interesting…
must be all his homies
men who cheat and backstab dont love nor give a damn about their families. besides, a life a drugs and paying hos aint cheap. he had no money for caring for a family when hes blowing it all on his double lifestyle.
even regular jos pull this. their wives have no idea the amount of debt and financial hell they are in until mess hits the fan. ive seen it happen to several close family and friends.
Sounds about white…
Whatever is necessary.
Midnight? My ass be SCHLEEP!
That’s fd up
YEP, he was cheating on her with hookers.
Black women, black men and black kids are the face of unemployment, cracked -out mentally deranged, inhabitants of piss n human sht smelling streets and sht stained bodies.
ouch…
Yep and he left a wife and child destitute…smh but its ok to be a homo …iguess shaking my head!
she knew..all women know…the fact that he didnt provide insurance and financial wellbeing says it all…smh
i would quietly cremate and keep it moving…
sad..
you betta preach it. my son started reading the old testament and he nearly fell off the sofa he said “mom are you kidding me”? I said no baby you only in Genesis wait until you get to the Kings and Samuels. Mankind is the same the only thing that changes is the year and the weather! Thank God for JESUS…
gotta point…i guess????
Why are you so concerned? How does his loss effect your life?! WHY NOT BE THE BETTER PERSON, AND JUST LET THEM HAVE THEIR PRIVACY?!
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE A KHUNT! Talking smack about someone you don’t know, just like I’m talking about you, someone I don’t know! A$$hole!
let me guess, you’re black!
And somehow, you think you know her life, so you can make this stupid conclusion. GO GET AN EDUCATION!
THEN GO GET A JOB THERE, DUMBASS!
and no black men are on the DL? B*tch.. shut the F.U.! Spoken like a true ignorant dumbass!
Because he was a public figure…and it is news.
I’m quite sure he accomplished more in one year than your worthless a@@ has ever accomplished from the day you were born. You are ignorant, ghetto and lack any type of human decency. You are pure garbage like the b@@@@@d that raised you. FYI….go to hell.
Exactly. She’s garbage.
Just because he’s a public figure doesn’t mean it’s any of your F*CKING BUSINESS!
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE AN A$$HOLE AND MAKE IT ALL ABOUT RACE.
THE OPIOID CRISIS ISN’T JUST ABOUT BLACKS… QUIT FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELVES, FOR ONCE!
WHY DON’T YOU GO EAT A BUCKET OF CHICKEN… YOU SOUND FKIN IGNORANT!
this is the TACKIEST thing I’ve read in ages and I have no sympathy. Shame on her. I was not a fan of Chris Burrous and the whole KTLA team. So childish and annoying not to mention crude and disgusting. But he was a human and it is a shame for anyone. He reportedly had net worth of half-million $. I would not give her one red cent! Maybe this explains his cheating and double-life!
how much more disgusting can this sleazy store become? I cannot stand the bimbos on KTLA and was turning it off before this happened.
I smell a rat and this “go fund me” raises suspicions about the entire cast of characters. The Glendale police/detectives need to investigate this thoroughly. Hit man perhaps? Hope they release the 911 tapes!
my friend told me she’d set aside $ for her cremation yet when she died, her problematic grandaughter set up a go-fund me begging for $ (probably going to use to dye her hair pink). I called funeral home to confirm services (out-of-state) thinking of sending flowers and was told NO SERVICES had been scheduled despite obituary announcement in paper. Be very leery of these “go-fund-me” accounts that are something that didn’t exist until fairly recently. I didn’t send flowers or contribute to what I think was a scam.
she worked as a reporter. Let KTLA hire her in place of several of their too many bimbos (the weather one who dresses like a ho comes to mind for starters)
youre at odds with me bc YOUR assessment of “accomplished” is by worldly $tandard$ and have nothing to do with the LORD. i am successful where it matters to HIM and certainly wont be dying of an overdose in a seedy motel with a tranny d!@# in my mouth.
hell, thats the legacy HE left behind! he lived a double life. he had ZERO integrity and, too bad for him, his dark side was exposed in the end. YOU may choose to overlook it, I dont. thats why we are 2 different people with 2 different opinions.
The Illinois Cremation Center has a $595 special. I’m sure other states have similar deals. Why would take someone else’s money and bury it in the ground?
I know a drag queen who took to Facebook asking his friends to send him money, because he wanted to bring his sick mother to Las Vegas, to live with him. Needless to say, no one gave him a dime and when his mother died in Chicago, he didn’t even go to her funeral!
I appreciate the open feelings and honestly with these threads. I feel empathy for his wife and child. Hopefully, they will move on with their lives. No one is sure of his situation or the circumstances of his death, however, it does appear to be very hush-hush. Perhaps, out of respect for his family? Ironically, Chris Burrous would have dug, brought up sensitive questions, been in your face, and followed the investigation if the story had it been about another “celebrity” figure. I guess the News Media has a double standard.
It’s the stupid people that donated. This guy had insurance and money. This bitch wants extra momey
And calling someone the C word is EDUCATED?
He wasn’t getting high all night. He was out in the field doing news the day he died. I watched him.
He told her that he had a meeting for the Rose Bowl Parade that he was supposed to be in.
