It is our unfortunate job to report that it seems that after a short time speculating, a couple of reliable sources including miriam o callaghan have confirmed that indeed Gerry Ryan today has died.

Details of his passing are sceptical at best with rumours of a heart attack found dead in his Dublin Leeson Street Apartment. We will update when we have more information on this. This is very sad information, an absolute broadcasting legend. his presence will be severely missed by those who knew him and those who loved listening to him.
