“The cigarette boat”
Do all these journalist go to the same school ?

Anyway, too bad. All accidents with death or injury are too bad. May the deceased RIP snd injured recover with least pain possible.

William Childs, 22, suffered an open head injury and was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Bibb County coroner Leon Jones told ABC News.

"I knew he was going to die," Jones, who was in the hospital responding to a separate incident, said of the moment he saw Childs brought into the emergency department.

^^^^^ can't believe the coroner said that quote to the news!

Well he is a coroner. This is just bad reporting. Guy was probably chased down by these reporters and this came up in a line of questions. Seems reasonable to say based off his background, probably not reasonable to report.
