Is Jeremy Clarkson Dead?

We received this e-mail from a tipster this afternoon:

“I have it from a friend whose friend owns a ranch in Portugal that poor Jeremy Clarkson is dead, victim of a horse accident during a stunt. The accident happened on a ranch [nearby]. The incident is being hushed up for now because of big legal implications.”


Holy shit. If this is true, we truly can’t believe that Clarkson’s gone. Although we often disagreed with the Top Gear presenter, we loved his wit and his way with a turn of phrase. He was one of the truest scholars ever to comment on motoring, as well as one of the funniest. He was spotted yesterday at the Cornbury Festival in the UK, but let’s face it, it’s not a long flight from Blighty to Portugal. If this turns out to be true, look for a full obit penned by all Jalopnik staffers. The man was truly one of the giants of the industry. Stay tuned. We’ll keep you posted.

[davide]

Wow... hope it's not true :(

[Erez]

JC rocks 0X

[TopGearNL]

God I hope not, that would be like a part of myself missing :shock:

[TT]

I have it from a friend whose friend

Whatever :roll: when something starts like that is 99% of the time an hoax, urban legend or similar

[TT]

You just proved my point :D

[Sydbom]

I have email top gear! I hope they say that its just not true, because if it is..... :cry:

[ARMAN]

FUCK NO!!! :|

[Mopsdrops]

Not good news, I hope this isn't true, I don't think it's real but it always could be

[ARMAN]

I just hope those are JC haters having a laugh :|

[Sydbom]

emailed times online now to, somebody must know if he is ok!

[Shinigami]

I'm pretty sure the Top Gear website/BBC website would have it in big letters...

[RC45]

Maybe someone go hold of this and thought the worst?

that was actually very funny, as a joke, well this just shows that if this is just a hoax then jeremy might actually play along with it!
well there aint long until next top gear show, well know then if not sooner. and as shinigami says it should be all over the plays if he had been killed.

[twboy1999]

is obvious it is a fake
if it is real. it will be on the news

he is pretty famous u know

[black_magician]

^^ I don't think many people know of him here in the states.






... it would be kinda funny if he played along though :lol:

[Mopsdrops]

more of him: check it out at www.streetfire.net , front page :?

[Global Warming]

Sounds like a PR stunt cooked up by Jalopnik. Remember the new shows are supposed to start next week. I wonder if JC will mention it on the show ;)

[dannyroz]

It would def be on the BBC and im sure one of our member from the UK would let us know...im lookin at dani

[RF1]

:|

[joe2tiger]

well, there hasnt been a Top Gear vid posted recently.......just fifth gear. Maybe Jabba should post up JC's review of the 997 turbo to prove he's still alive :) :) :)

[vexor]

^^^ the reason why there hasn't been any TG vids lately is because they're still on break till sunday and when did Jezza test the new 997 Turbo?

[joe2tiger]

ah ok........well I just assumed TG would be testing it soon b/c everybody else is testing it. Also I believe they published a review in TG Magazine...........Hopefully, when Top Gear Mag does a review it means TG tele can't be far behind :)

But anyway thanx for the info. I was wondering where all the Top Gear was.........

[5vz-fe]

If he's dead, it's prolly the action of the green peace ppl :mrgreen:

[TNT]

if he was truely dead i think it would of been all over the web by now.

[nthfinity]

if he was truely dead i think it would of been all over the web by now.

it is all over the web "by now" just not in any legitimate form

if it were true, something would've come from it today.... almost without a doubt, its a publicity stunt...

[Erez]

that vid link there is actually pretty funny.. :lol:

[Fleischmann]

I have it from a friend whose friend

If I were ever to believe this story, the first sentence already shows it is BS. I'm pretty sure the media would already be talking about the incident, especially in the UK. The video is awesome though :D

[acmarttin]

Hey, with much respect to JC.... exactly what kind of public figure do you have to be to have your death covered up?? If he died, it would be EVERYWHERE!

[CroWn]

Seem's like bullshit , or? :-/

[CroWn]

Oh alright. :)
