CNN paid tribute to longtime Republican political commentator Alice Stewart who was found dead Saturday in the Belle View neighborhood in northern Virginia. Law enforcement told the network they did not suspect foul play in the death of Stewart, 58, whose body was discovered outdoors. Stewart’s death left her colleagues at CNN stunned and saddened. Ashley Allison, a Democratic political commentator on the program, held back tears as she described their off-camera connection. Her last appearance was Friday on “The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer.”“Alice was a friend and colleague to all of us at CNN,” CNN Chairman Mark Thompson said in a statement.
