Phil Donahue’s Cause Of Death: Television Icon Dead at 88


Phil Donahue’s cause of death was shared by his beloved family, including Marlo Thomas, after his passing at age 88.

While his family is touched by the outpouring of support, they also asked in their statement that donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the Phil Donahue/Notre Dame Scholarship Fund in lieu of flowers. Host Phil Donahue and wife Marlo Thomas attend “The Terms Of My Surrender” Broadway Opening Night at Belasco Theatre on August 10, 2017 in New York City. His first guest was Madalyn Murray O’Hair, the atheist whose case against school prayer had been successfully argued in front of the Supreme Court; later, he was the only talk show host to land South Africa’s Nelson Mandela right after his release from prison.
