Tributes and condolences poured in Monday for Lauren Davis, a young mother and news anchor at CFRA 580 AM whose death was announced by the station Monday afternoon.

The 24-year-old Davis, who is the daughter of well-known Toronto radio personality Erin Davis, was on maternity leave at the time of her death. No other details of her death were available.

Davis seemed upbeat while interacting with people on Twitter late Sunday night.

Her colleagues used the social media network on Monday to express their condolences to her family after the sudden passing.

“Our beautiful Lauren Davis signing off for the last time,” wrote CFRA reporter Alison Sandor on Twitter, while posting a picture of Davis on air. “Words cannot describe just how much you meant to all of us.”

Many listeners described how they felt as if they knew Lauren personally, having listened to her mother talk about her growing up over the years on Erin’s CHFI 98.1 FM show in Toronto.

CFRA confirmed the news in a statement on its website.
