Roger Ebert, Famed Film Critic Has Died.

The famed film critic Roger Ebert has died from a recurrence of the cancer that has hounded him in recent years.

He recently began radiation again after cancer was discovered when he went for treatment of a hip fracture.

Ebert, 70 was a Pulitzer Prize winner and part of the Siskel and Ebert TV movie reviews that attracted such a huge audience for so many years.

He has previously battled cancer in his thyroid and salivary glands and lost the ability to speak and eat during previous surgery, which also left him with a facial disfigurement.

He has been the film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times almost as long as anyone can remember.
