Bo Eric Holmström (18 October 1938 – 12 October 2017[1]) was a Swedish journalist, reporter and author. He worked as a reporter both for SVT and TV4. He was the Swedish reporter covering the Norrmalmstorg robbery in 1973 and the West German Embassy siege in Stockholm in 1975.[2] On 11 September 2003 he was the first reporter to announce in media that Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh had died from injuries sustained after an attack earlier that same day.[3] He was reporting from Karolinska hospital for TV4. In 2007 he was awarded the Stora journalistpriset for his journalism work.[4] In 2015, he was awarded an honorary Kristallen at the Kristallen awards.[5]
In 2016, gangrene in his leg led to its amputation. He spent his last year at a nursing home in Vagnhärad and died on 12 October 2017,[6] 6 days before his 79th birthday.
