All of you are probably aware of the tragic death of a contestant, Jennifer Strange, following her participation in a contest on the Morning Rave last Friday.

First and foremost, our thoughts and sympathies go out to Jennifer's family and loved ones.

I also want to assure you that the circumstances regarding this matter are being examined as thoroughly as possible. We are doing everything we can to deal with this difficult situation in a manner that is both respectful and responsible. In the interim, the Morning Rave is off the air indefinitely.

Thank you.

Thank goodness that so far, no entity has spun this story and blamed video games or the need to play them. More importantly, thank goodness the folks from the radio station are doing something about this.

Ah...still bizarre

They didn't force the woman to drink so much water.....

I blame Nintendo (ok, not really but, if there were enough Wii's in the first place there'd be no need for stupid competitions like this at all)
