’48 Hours’ correspondent Harold Dow’s cause of death has not been made official as of yet. However, the popular TV personality apparently has died due to complications from an Asthma Attack. Dow suffered from adult onset asthma.

Dow’s family issued the following statement:

At the time of Harold’s death, he was suffering from adult onset asthma. On Monday, August 16, 2010, Harold checked himself into the Valley Hospital emergency room in Ridgewood [New Jersey] for severe asthmatic symptoms.
According to the Hackensack [New Jersey] Police Department incident report, an inhaler was found on the floor of Harold’s vehicle. Therefore, it is believed at this time that Harold succumbed to an asthma attack while behind the wheel.
