Condolences poured into CTV Ottawa Monday evening after it was announced that the husband of CTV Ottawa anchor Carol Anne Meehan has been found dead.
Ontario Provincial Police officers found Greg Etue's body inside a 2008 Pontiac Montana van parked on a lane in the Brudenell, a small community about a two-hour drive west of Ottawa. The 56-year-old had been missing for two weeks. Foul play is not suspected in the death.
Etue, a prominent Ottawa pharmacist, had been living with multiple sclerosis, and had been battling cancer for the past two years. Meehan has been off-air since her husband's disappearance.
After the OPP issued a press release identifying the body, Ottawa-area residents reacted with sympathy, offering numerous condolences to Meehan and her family.
"I never personally met you, Carol Anne, but have come to know you and your compassion for others by watching you deliver the 6 p.m. evening news," said one respondent wrote in a Book of Condolences on the CTV website. "I am saddened by the news. My prayers are with you and your kids. I just want you to know that your absence has been felt by all of us who are blessed enough to have CTV News as our hometown platform."
"I'd like to send the family my deepest condolences during these extremely difficult times," said another sympathizer. "Please know that you are not alone, that your friend and family embrace you." Ottawa Citizen
