by Associated Press

   SAN DIEGO --

   Dick Enberg, the sportscaster who got his big break with UCLA
   basketball and went on to call Super Bowls, Olympics, Final Fours and
   Angels and Padres baseball games, died Thursday. He was 82.

   Engberg's daughter, Nicole, confirmed the death to The Associated
   Press. She said the family became concerned when he didn't arrive on
   his flight to Boston on Thursday, and that he was found dead at his
   home in La Jolla, a San Diego neighborhood, with his bags packed.

   The family said it believes he had a heart attack, but is awaiting
   official word.
