A man who called a Liverpool radio station to take part in a live phone-in died while he was on air.

The caller, known only as Terry, was taking part in the Magic 1548 show hosted by Pete Price on Thursday.

The DJ, concerned when the line went dead, abandoned the show and rushed to the man's house in the Old Swan area, to find he had suffered a heart attack.

Merseyside Police later apologised for not sending an officer to investigate after Mr Price phoned them.

That's rather shocking. Don't know many DJs who would do that either on local radio.

You're exaggerating when you mention 'rushed' slightly, doesn't the report say he went to the house an hour after the phone went quiet?

Anyhoo, I suppose it was nice of the DJ to be bothered enough to phone the police and then go round the mans house himself.
