BBC Scotland’s presenter Nick Sheridan ‘collapsed while running’ before passing away with family by his side
BBC Scotland presenter Nick Sheridan tragically died after he "collapsed while out running", his devastated colleagues said.
Tributes flooded in for the "wonderful broadcaster and superb writer" after his sudden passing aged 32.
The journalist, from Wexford in Ireland, was out running when he reportedly collapsed after suffering a suspected aneurysm.
He died yesterday with his family by his side, reports STV News.
Nick was known for presenting Reporting Scotland, Drivetime, the Nine and Seven Days.
In a statement, Head of News and Current Affairs Gary Smith said: "Nick has been a wonderful colleague.
"He was a hugely talented journalist, presenter and author – and one of those rare people who light up the lives of everyone around them.
"Our hearts go out to his parents, to his partner and all his family and friends".
STV's Head of News and Current Affairs Linda Grimes-Douglas told of the "sombre" atmosphere in the newsroom, while staff at the BBC will hold a "minute of reflection" after today's Reporting Scotland airs.
Nick's close pal and former colleague Emma Cameron remembered his passion for "musical theatre, Irish culture, journalism and food.”
Weather presenter Philip Petrie said: "There were countless early Good Morning Britain shifts he and I shared, where he would keep the weary team amused with stories, pranks and even some renditions of Disney classics."
