Jason Sheftell - Daily News Real Estate Reporter Dies Aged Forty Six

Jason Sheftell was a well known Daily News Real Estate reporter. The forty six year old was greatly admired by his work colleagues and he was a highly respected reporter. The Sheftell family were expecting to see him at a pre-arranged family gathering that was held over the weekend, Jason failed to appear and concerned family members soon contacted staff at the Daily News. The Daily News was also concerned about Sheftell and they asked one of his colleagues to call in on him. Prior to this an old college friend who was a key holder had called to check on Jason Sheftell but was unable to rouse him. When the reporter arrived at the Manhattan apartment he was met by Jason's college friend Kyle but sadly Jason had passed away.
