CBS News reported that its Sunday Morning program devoted a segment to remembering several notable figures who died this week. The video segment, titled Passage: In memoriam, was published on Sunday, according to the network's listing, which is available on CBS News's video page for the segment.

Among those remembered was actress Elke Sommer, according to the segment's summary. The listing says Sommer starred in A Shot in the Dark, which it describes as a Pink Panther caper. The summary does not say when or where Sommer died, how old she was, or what caused her death.

The summary says the segment remembers some of the notable figures from the week, which suggests that the names it includes are a selection rather than a complete list. It does not name any other figure featured in the segment, and it does not state how many people the program remembered. It offers no transcript or excerpt from the broadcast. The only career detail it provides concerns Sommer's appearance in the film.

The listing carries no byline, so the report is credited to CBS News alone. Because the material used for this account consisted solely of that listing, its details are limited to the facts stated above.
