Conservative radio host Michael 'Doc' Thompson, 49, died on Tuesday after he was hit by a passing Amtrak train as he was jogging along the tracks in Haltom City, Texas.

Wireless earbuds were found at the scene, although it's not clear if they belonged to Thompson.

Thompson ran a radio talk show called 'Daily Mojo' and was known for his conservative libertarian views.

When you can't hear a train coming, the music is too loud. RIP.

It is truly remarkable how often this happens. How "in the zone" do you have to be to not hear or feel a train coming. Its not like they are subtle or sneaky.
