Seems like he needs someone "In his corner." Linda C. just announced that he suffered a brain aneurism (sp?) this morning, he is in a coma, and the damage appears to be extensive.

He seemed like such a nice guy. I hate to see nice people and their families suffer.

I was really shocked to see this.

Yes. It is a shock. Brad did a story on my brother several years ago and I was interviewed for it. Yes. A nice guy.

I wonder if there is a way for everyone on OKC Talk who wants to participate to send a group get well on behalf of OKC Talk.

I saw that is well. Sad to hear. Our prayers are with him.

Oh NO! That 's horrible!

You just never know... my dear friend and neighbor has been in ICU for a week with encephalitis/meningitis - he has a nine year old daughter.. they are the nicest, sweetest friends. For awhile we didn't know if he would even make it but now they are trying to determine if there is any brain damage and what his recovery will be like. He is still in ICU so it's a wait and see situation.

Time to tell those we love how much we love them.. you never know when it might be too late.

A friend of mine in OKC emailed me about this this morning and I'm very upset. I worked with Brad at Channel 4 in the 70s and 80s, and remember him as a very sharp, great guy.

And it doesn't look good for him at all.

Aneuryms are horrible things. From what I understand, he was suffering from pericarditis (inflammation of the lining around the heart) immediately previously, and they were not sure what was causing that - now this on top of it.

Anyone know how old he is? Seems like he might be in his late 50's or thereabouts....

Prayers for him and his family..

He had some infection of the heart, which caused the clot which thus caused the aneurysm.

Very sad.

I had not heard about Brad Edwards until reading this message. I am also very saddened about the news. I was on "In Your Corner" back in 1983. He is a super guy and I hope he makes a full recovery.

He died.

He died.
Gee, let's be real blunt and insensitive.

Adam...

Brad Edwards is deceased.

It's not insensitive to state as much. The poster 2 posts before yourself lives under a rock. That saddens me more than anything else.

-- but your judgmental tone was missed. Thanks for bringing it back.

I know you don't care for me, and that's fine, because the feelings are mutual. I don't care if the poster lives under a rock, the comment,"he's dead," was very callous and insensitive, sorta like many of your posts. That's not judgemental, that's the truth.

it would have been more sensitive to lie and say that brad edwards made a full recovery. at the very least you could've said that brad edwards was living impaired. he shuffled off this mortal coil. he slipped the surly bonds of earth. but 'he died?' that's just insensitive.

Thanks Adam 12
Your reply to CC's (he's dead) was intuitive. You saw it for what it was. My thoughts about his reply would not get by the sensors. Most people have a heart for people in times of grief, those that don't are probably in deeper need. What is really bad is they probably don't know it.

For the record, 1Adam12 and oran, I didn't say, "he's dead." I said, "he died." It helps to get your facts straight before condemning someone.

And Oran, from those two words, you cannot possibly know whether or not I "have a heart for people in times of grief." How long a period is "times of grief" anyway? He passed away more than two months ago.

<sniff, sniff>

And I don't think any of us knew him personally, either. Who was crabby cruiser being insensitive to, anyway? "He died" is an acceptable answer since that's exactly what happened. No reason to sugar coat it, we're all adults.

Here is a thought. Why not just let by gones be by gones and allow Brad to rest in peace.
