Sorry to hear this. He seemed to be an okay guy and was becoming more of a Family Man in retirement.
Totally unexpected, but copters are not planes, and perhaps are not as safe.

True, the Internet is full of garbage, so I prefer to wait until a Sheriff or someone with knowledge confirms versus waiting for the likes of a hacked website to say it.

Bryant said it was a matter of standing up for what you believe in

Because people on Twitter were saying TMZ's website was down and this was another one of those hoaxes

Looks like TMZ pulled the post and added updated information, to include pictures and brought it back up.

“Maybe I jumped the gun, but I know FR frowns on these types of posts.”

What types of posts?

OANN just reported it. They don’t normally run unconfirmed stories.

There’s a photo at the TMZ page, showing a building in the foreground, and a source of some smoke on a hillside some distance behind the building. If true, the coverage may be slow to avoid any embarrassment in case it’s yet another hoax.
