According to Gamespot, Sgt. Timothy Curran said that: "We have decided we will open a death investigation which will take weeks and on conclusion our findings will be forwarded to the local district attorney to decide whether to lay criminal charges."
The audio recordings, which are now available on the Internet, feature the now-fired DJ’s joking about contestants dying of water intoxication before the death of Jennifer Strange.
Despite listeners calling in to warn the DJs that the stunt could be fatal before the death of Jennifer Strange took place, the DJ’s responded that: “"Yeah, we're aware of that.”.
The family of Jennifer Strange is now wanting to sue the radio station so a similar tragedy can be avoided, as Strange’s three children are now without their mother. |
