He had been away, and coming home an hour ago, heard the sad news.

I have some very sad news to share with all of you.

I didn't have the heart to tell them the sad news about the company.

The woman had obviously heard the sad news of his death last night.

"In that case I might as well get on the phone and report the sad news."

I'm sorry to say I have sad news for you.

Sad news though, he's done so much for the industry.

Sorry if this is sad news, but I just thought you'd like to know.

I think we'd better try to track down your husband and let him know the sad news.

So when the last moment came, it fell to them to spread the sad news.
