    Sky News says he is on life support but stable.

    If this turns out to be untrue, they should really check their sources before the put it out on air

    Sky News are not running it yet if its true. I would expect them to be first to break the story, ceratinly ahead of Tipp FM but you never know someone in Tipp may have a inside contact close to Best or working in the Hospital.

    Just spoke to someone in the news room at tippFM and it looks like their source is a text msg they received.

    You'd think they'd look a bit further into it before reporting it!

    No Way they can run the story with a text message as a source surely. Someone is going to have their knuckles severly rapped if this is false and rightly so.
