What did he say?

maybe something about his death being cracking, and it being due to metropol being too closely aligned with TVForum

Something along the lines of "he had it coming".

The news presenter was silent for quite a while.

Would JM say that Jack Osborne's death is imminent if he continues on his "Adrenaline Junkie" series?

But the bloke made a living out of putting his head in crocodile's mouths... and was then killed by a freak accident involving a bloody stingray. Whether or not he was being filmed at the time, I don't think he had that kind of revenge coming to him really.

I can't speak for JM, but if Jack Osbourne dies from doing some extreme sport, then yes he was asking for it. Extreme sports or getting up close and personal in the wild for entertainment or pleasure. You're asking for trouble. Personally i'm not stupid enough to stare death in the face voluntarily. I leave that to the insane people.

I feel for the family left behind. They won't go hungry or homeless though. Bet he took out a hefty life insurance

Have you considered a career at TalkSHITE?

Sometimes you really have to think about whether what you're thinking is really suitable for transmission...

maybe he's trying to be a shock jock.

either way, hopefully he'll get fired soon and we can all have a jolly good laugh
