Couldn't they just call Roy to see if he answers?

 

This isn't looking good, though. I really hope someone stole the plane or something.

[Brownie19]

Holy f***.

This looks really bad. Says they will be announcing person's identity at 4:15. I mean if it wasn't him couldn't someone have confirmed it by now?

 

f***

[Dick_Pole]

This has ruined my perfectly good day. Now I'm glued to the Twitter to find out one way or the other ASAP.

[TheHurl]

Doesn't look good at all.

They usually contact immediate family before announcing something like this. Delays in that process could happen whether it's Roy or not.

[Cleveland Steamer]

They way he spoke about his new plane on Twitter, I can pretty much guarantee it's him. Very sad.

I know just seems terrible the way the news has come out. His twitter is filled with him and his plane.

Live stream on http://www.sportsnet.ca, I have it set to start at 4pm not sure when they will activate it for the website but the stream will be there.

Aww man, not Doc

Once the first person identified the number as Halladay's plane it was going to spread rumours regardless.

Holy crap please no

[Dr. Dinger]

Bad gut feeling about this one. It's him. They didn't say any survivors, and who else would be flying his plane alone? And you would think, if he had survived, he'd send out some kind of message to let people know.

[G-Snarls]

Oh f***

This is pretty spot on. It doesn't look good.

[Dr. Dinger]

More to the point, would they even have a press conference unless it was someone important? Seems like a lot of buildup.

[JonMc]

That's horrible news.

[Angrioter]

Nooooooooooo

[Captain Adama]

Oh f*** no.

[Krylian]

Just announced.

 

It's Roy.

[Abomination]

Damn, he's probably my favorite Jay of all time.

[Boxcar]

Ugh of course it is.

 

This f***ing sucks so bad.

[Captain Adama]

Holy s*** this can't be real

[Cleveland Steamer]

.@PascoSheriff confirms body is indeed former #BlueJays Roy Halliday. God rest his soul. Devastated...

[Brownie19]

Just announced.

 

It's Roy.

 

Yeah that original report is updated now.

 

HOLIDAY, Fla. - Eight-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young award winner Roy Halladay died Tuesday after his plane crashed into the Gulf of Mexico. He was 40. Halladay's ICON A5 light sport aircraft crashed 10 miles west of St. Petersburg at about 1 p.m., the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said.

 

RIP Roy. You were the best. Now who cut the f***ing onions here in the office ffs?

[fatcowxlive]

[jaysblue]

I'm completely lost at words. Wilner confirmed on Twitter as well.
