Liquid news presenter found dead tonight
Chris price, was found dead at his home tonight. No cause of death was given, He was only a young guy, a little over weight- maybe it was an heart attack.

I was waiting for it after Film 2002, then I got snooker I see in the papers Liquid News was to be on after snooker but not now.
Bad news when they die old, tragic when their young, he was only 34.

That is sad - he was quite a funny guy. He was starting to move up in the showbiz world too. I seem to remember him presenting the UK Eurovision entries earlier this year as well as Liquid News.

He just signed a £280,000 2 year contract too so it must of been an accident as life must of been good at the time. I remember watching his show quite a few times on BBC Choice and he was a very natural presenter.
R.I.P.

Deeply sad. I really enjoyed Liquid News with him and faithfully viewed. The show was never as good with a stand-in, which is testament to his talent.
A weekly treaure in absentia.
Kind thoughts.

Sad news. Christopher Price was both laid back and funny. Also, he came across as a nice guy. He'll be missed.

That's terrible news.
The few times I caught Liquid News, the guy made me crack up....he managed to be pretty acerbic without being offensive.
What a shame.
Best wishes to his friends and family.

One of the few genuine people on TV. Great shame.
However, well done to Sean for beating Garrett to the punch.

Witty,Sharp and very very funny. He was a real rising star and this news is very sad.
I never met the guy but watched his show when i could, I was shocked when i heard this news, so can't imagine what his family feel. My thoughts are with his family, friends and collegues.
Rest in peace Big Guy

Watched nearly every `Liquid News` and enjoyed every one of them,the guy was one of the true stars of broadcasting - funny/sarcastic - without causing offence/every guest always seemed to enjoy themselves on the program,what a terrible loss,the postmortem is tomorrow,hopefully he did not suffer,but the past few weeks or so he has let slip into interviews and general chat that he was always alone and had no one,now I don`t know if that was just joking and playing the host to gee the guests into more banter or if he was serious - sad if it that was the case,specialy after watching the tribute to him tonight,and so many people in the business stating their love for him and the way that he laughed at the absurd thing that showbusiness is -
But you hate people,Yeah but I love gatherings,isnt it ironic !!

First I knew it was a competition pointon, or have I said something to offend you, as you have recently getting little digs at me.
