They end up at the Camborne studios where Simon was and attack him and smash up anything resembling a rig [including the 103.1 FM rig]. He later dies in hospital of a heart attack. The mob is arrested but charges are later dropped. DJs had been trying to catch the gang as they took the rigs off one by one and were too late when they realised, they were actually going for Simon’s place, something several of them found it hard to forgive themselves for. By 13:00 Radio Argus Cornwall is off the air.
