Kevin Kamenetz passed away last night. The following is being reported on WBAL:

Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz died early Thursday morning at University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center following a cardiac arrest. He was 60 years old.

According to Baltimore County officials Kamenetz was at his home in Owings Mills, asleep, when he awoke at about 2 a.m. and complained of feeling ill.

He was transported by the Garrison Fire Station’s Medic 19 to St. Joseph, where doctors pronounced him deceased at 3:22 a.m.
