The Em should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Vale Jeremy Clarkson???

There is a big BIG rumour going around that Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has met his demise in a horse riding accident, but I can't find anything confirming this. At the moment, it seems to be a rumour, but it seems strange to have an unsubstantiated rumour like this floating about.

If anyone knows anything more or can confirm or deny, please reply.

Cos it would be a very sad day if the motoring community had lost one of its most public and respected figures.

If it's a rumour (even if it's a BIG rumour), I reckon you could find a better heading for this thread.

If it makes you feel better, I reckon it's just a BIG rumour.

Untrue. This was rumoured as far back as the 10th of July. Reports of his death were wildly exaggerated. The rumour was started by these people: http://jalopnik.com/cars/news/is-jer...ead-186336.php

Actually, upon further searching, this was a rumour back in 2006!

I know that there were the things from a couple of years ago, but several contacts were telling me today that he was dead.

Last I read, some major news networks had articles on the rumour, but neither confirmed nor denied it. It seems a little odd, and possibly telling, that they haven't come out and said "Clarkson is still alive and well, and is amused at rumours of his demise."

Which contacts? Your contact lenses?

Seriously, I can find nothing on this and as such this thread is closed until proven otherwise.

The rumour just seems a sick prank.
