Conservative Radio Host Michael 'Doc' Thompson Tragically Dies After Being Struck by Train

Conservative radio host Michael “Doc” Thompson has died after being struck by an Amtrak train.

On Tuesday at around 3:45 p.m., Thompson was seen jogging alongside the railroad tracks when he was hit by the passing train, witnesses told the Haltom City Police Department, according to a news release obtained by PEOPLE.

When police arrived on the scene, they found a pair of wireless earbuds, the news release states.

However, it is not clear as to whether or not Thompson was wearing the earbuds at the time of the accident.

Thompson was pronounced dead at the scene. He was 50.

No one on the train was injured.

Thompson is most known for his weekday show Doc Thompson’s Daily Mojo with Doc and Brad.
