Erm... "Retired man dies peacefully at home".

Can someone point me to the "tragic" aspect, please?

Could be. Then again he could be related to Homer.

IIRC, his wife works for ITN. Can't remember her name though.

RIP Bob. Remember his broadcasts fondly. He was indeed rather dry, as the extract states.

Edit: Juliet Bremner. Just read the thing properly.
