Robert “Bob” Browning, a longtime Los Angeles Times copy editor who worked on The Times’ investigative series on the King/Drew hospital that won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2005, died Saturday. He was 69.
The cause was complications from a long-standing lung disease, said Judy Browning, his wife of 31 years.
Browning was born in Pasadena on Oct. 22, 1951, and graduated with a degree in history from Carleton College in Minnesota. He began his career in newspapers in the mid-1970s as an unpaid concert critic for the Whittier Daily News.
He was soon hired as a reporter, then quickly promoted to editor of the society page. He later worked as a copy editor at the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and Orange County Register.

“We cannot celebrate an end to an ICE contract when the Essex county officials continue to be committed to profiting off of incarcerating people,” a tweet from The New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice said. “This is not what justice looks like.”
There also was concern that the 164 ICE detainees being held at Essex County as of Thursday might be transferred out of state.
