We received this e-mail from a tipster this afternoon:

“I have it from a friend whose friend owns a ranch in Portugal that poor Jeremy Clarkson is dead, victim of a horse accident during a stunt. The accident happened on a ranch [nearby]. The incident is being hushed up for now because of big legal implications.”


Holy ****. If this is true, we truly can’t believe that Clarkson’s gone. Although we often disagreed with the Top Gear presenter, we loved his wit and his way with a turn of phrase. He was one of the truest scholars ever to comment on motoring, as well as one of the funniest. He was spotted yesterday at the Cornbury Festival in the UK, but let’s face it, it’s not a long flight from Blighty to Portugal. If this turns out to be true, look for a full obit penned by all Jalopnik staffers. The man was truly one of the giants of the industry. Stay tuned. We’ll keep you posted.

never mind lets get this post locked or deleted hes alive and well. i just got a bit too excited there

The relief is thick in the air at Jalopnik bedquarters, as any substantiation of the unsubstantiated heresay of Jeremy Clarkson’s demise fails to materalize. Supporting the ‘e’s-not-dead-yet camp is a report Clarkson was spotted at a UK music festival on Sunday, making it virtually impossible for him, in the post-Concorde age, to have then flown to Portugal and gotten mortally injured at the hoofs of an equine. Let’s just hope it’s not a ruse in the manner of the Beatles’ Paul Is Dead conspiracy. Come to think of it, has anyone seen Andre the Giant lately? [Thanks to Sam for the tip.]
