In a controversial decision by the show's producers, she was replaced by Dennis Trudeau in 1985. She subsequently hosted Sunday Morning for several years, and produced documentary reports for the network. More recently, with different producers in charge of As It Happens, Gray returned to the program as an occasional guest host.[citation needed]
Elizabeth Gray was married to journalist John Gray.[3] She died from lung cancer on October 25, 2023, at the age of 86.[4]
