MORE TRAGEDY STRIKES FAMILY OF AUSTRALIAN NEWSREADER WHO SUICIDED LAST NOVEMBER
January 1st 2008 21:32
The tragic Channel Ten TV newsreader Charmaine Dragun, who took her own life in November in Sydney, is in the hews again, with The Australian reporting that one of three truck drivers killed when a firestorm engulfed their convoy west of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia on Sunday was her uncle.
Lewis Bedford, a 60-year-old grandfather, was the brother of Dragun's mother, Estelle. Charmaine Dragun's body was found at the base of The Gap, a popular suicide spot, in Sydney's eastern suburbs, after she had apparently waged a long battle with depression.
Bedford was one of three truck drivers who died after authorities opened a roadblock at the goldfields town of Coolgardie, allowing their convoy to drive into the path of a bushfire.
