Effectively summing up a BBC reporter on the scene (from a fricking bulletin interrupting normal schedules): We don't know. He might be dead. But other news agencies say so.
Looks like the Beeb's rolling news channel is turning into Rumour24.
Which leads me to wonder - why the hell jump in with a brief bulletin. I appreciate the impacts of rolling news channels but still can't figure out why there had to be an interruption to effectively say "He's been rushed to hospital, but everything else is unconfirmed".
