GALVESTON, Texas (AP) — Scott Williams, managing editor of the Galveston County Daily News, has died at the age of 46.
The Daily News (http://bit.ly/2b4LOCy ) reports Williams died Wednesday at his Dickinson home of an apparent heart attack.
The University of Houston graduate first joined the newspaper as a reporter in 1998 and spent the next 10 years covering police and courts. He left in 2008 to earn a law degree from Texas Southern University, then worked as a prosecutor and private-practice lawyer until late 2015.
He returned in January to The Daily News as assistant managing editor, becoming managing editor for news in April.
Survivors include wife Brenda Williams, daughter Brooke Utter, son Brody Williams, parents Charles and Donna Williams of Dickinson and mother-in-law Betty Korndorffer of League City.
