Kidd Kraddick hosted a morning show on Cumulus Media (he was another of the ABC Radio personalities Cumulus inherited). He keeled over at a golf tournament in New Orleans. Just last week he was discussing with his onair staff what you would do if you knew it was your last day on Earth.

There are unconfirmed rumors the cause of death was a brain Aneurysm – the rupture of an artery at a weak spot. That would line up with his “bit” on Monday and the publicist sounding like it was a shock but not a surprise. Even if it is diagnosed, there is not much that can be done about it… “Kidd, it could let go at any time – live every day as if it could be your last”
Kidd was self-syndicated – I went with information that was inaccurate

Kraddick was a chain smoker. He had an enlarged heart and 3 blocked arteries. He had to have noticed his growing weakness.
But I support his right to live and die the way he chose.
Yeah, smoking chains is a way-of-life for so many, and a shameful way to die. Shoulda smoked organic or natural grown tobacco and lived a full, enriched life.
