From the family’s post:
It is with a profoundly heavy heart and the deepest sadness that we announce the untimely passing of our beloved Midwin Charles.
She was known to many as a legal commentator on television but to us, she was a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, niece and cousin.
Our lives are forever changed and we will miss her for a lifetime. The family thanks you in advance for your love and prayers.
“Please allow the family time to grieve. The Family of Midwin Charles.

Based on reports and a

Charles founded the law firm Midwin Charles & Associates LLC and also worked as a research fellow at Harvard Law School. Charles lent her experience to many shows such as the aforementioned MSNBC, CNN, TV One, and The Wendy Williams show among others.
Midwin Charles was 47.
The news of Charles’ passing has rocked the media with many of her colleagues and friends offering words of condolences and now has “Rest In Power” trending on Twitter.
Our thoughts too are with the family, friends, and loved ones of Midwin Charles. May she rest powerfully in peace.
