    No and the Irish Times are reporting that's what alerted 2FM bosses when he never showed up.

    ZOMG AN INTERNET SITE RELEASED INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET

    Even if OP was the first to release it, which i seriously doubt,it would have come very soon after anyway. I doubt Gerry Ryans family are glued to boards like some of the greater than thou people commenting

    Sad news, RIP Gerry

    Someone quickly reading through this thread would believe that some rogue paramedic has murdered Gerry Ryan and now there's a boards.ie manhunt for him.

    Not a fan at all to be honest...

    but having lost both parents when I was in my late teens & they were same age as Gerry Ryan, jesus I really feel for his kids.

    Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy

    It`s not about his family finding out, it`s about the public in general, he was a public figure, but even if he wasn`t paramedics should never text relatives to let them know the status of any patient. Apart from the fact that I cannot imagine being able to sit next to a deceased person and have the nerve to do something as trivial as sending a message, never mind about the person in question, telling her that rigormortis had set in! Jeebus H. Christ I have sat with dying animals and had more respect for them than that.

    RTÉ broadcaster Gerry Ryan found dead
    Friday, 30 April 2010 15:53
    RTÉ broadcaster Gerry Ryan has been found dead at his home. He was 53.

    Mr Ryan joined RTÉ in 1979 and presented the radio programme 'The Gerry Ryan Show' and television programmes such as Operation Transformation and Ryan Confidential.

    He is survived by his five children and his wife, Morah, from whom he was separated.

    Mr Ryan began his career as a broadcaster in pirate radio.

    When 2fm was launched in 1979, Mr Ryan joined the station as a DJ and he soon became part of their main night-time line up.

    In 1988 The Gerry Ryan Show began.

    Over the next 22 years his weekday talk programme became one of the most listened to radio shows in Ireland.

    During his career Mr Ryan also hosted a number of TV shows, including his own chat show, Ryan Confidential and most recently Operation Transformation.

    Taoiseach Brian Cowen has expressed sadness at Mr Ryan's death.

    In a statement he said: 'Gerry was a household name and a broadcaster of immense talent and popularity. His legion of fans will all be greatly shocked to hear this sad news.

    'He will be hugely missed by all those who had the good fortune to know him.'


    !!This is off the rte website!!

    It's all related, and poor diet and inactivity is the 2nd biggest factor in these preventable deaths (with smoking being the largest factor).
    Could be genetic too, not that an unhealthy lifestyle doesn't help

    Strange how operation transformation didn't make him give it a go!

    Larry Gogan just talking now on 2fm saying he'll be terribly missed. Sounded very upset.

    In a statement, RTÉ said it had been asked by Mr Ryan's family to say: 'Gerry Ryan died today. Morah and his children are in complete shock. Please respect their privacy at this time.'

    Totally agree.

    Lots of women in my office crying uncontrollably after hearing the news.

    I have to say I am too, but I think it's just bringing back memories of my dads sudden passing last year, so my heart goes out to the family, the little girl is only about ten!! Please keep this in mind before you post anything bad

    Ah jesus Larry Gogan, the shivers sent down my spine just there with his little speech. Its awful for all who worked with him, im sure they had some bond with him within the studios and office. At the end of the day theyve lost a colleague and the family have lost a dad and husband. :(

    Loved listening to his show every morning, always put a smile on me face with his humour and loved the way he said what he wanted and how he honestly felt about everything.

    RIP
