Fans of a conservative talk radio host are mourning his death. He died after being struck by an Amtrak train in Haltom City, near Dallas, TX.
Michael "Doc" Thompson, 49, was killed Tuesday afternoon, according to his production company, MoJo 5.0 Radio.
Witnesses and the train crew said he was jogging alongside the tracks when he was hit by the passing train. A pair of wireless earbuds was found at the scene, police said.
Thompson started the show last year after he left a position at Glenn Beck's TheBlaze radio, according to a post at theblaze.com.
Thomson was the afternoon talk show host on WRVA in Richmond from 2007-2012
Thompson's bio page described his broadcast style as one that "mixes reporting, commentary, and humor to reflect a conservative libertarian political philosophy with economic views supportive of the free market. Showcasing Doc's passion and insight, his beliefs and comments are consistent as he discusses personal freedom, personal responsibility, and Constitutional principles."
