Trick or Treaters Find Radio Host Dead

Monday November 2, 2009
It happened in New Zealand, according to a short article at smh.com.au. Apparently, the Halloween revelers went to talkback radio personality Tim Bickerstaff's home.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports: "The teenagers saw the 67-year-old diabetic through a window on Saturday...[and]...when their door knocking failed to rouse him they entered the house and set off his medic alert bracelet."

Bickerstaff's death was attributed to a massive heart attack. "Bickerstaff became known as an outspoken radio host and sports critic during 40 years on the airwaves," says smh.com.au.
