The husband of KHBS/KHOG Anchor Yuna Lee was killed when he was hit by a train while out jogging.

Michael “Doc” Thompson, died in Dallas Tuesday. Thompson lived in Northwest Arkansas with Lee and their two young sons. For several years, Thompson has commuted to Dallas for his job as a radio host. He spent every weekend moment with Yuna and their children.

General Manager Shawn Oswald met with newsroom staff Wednesday morning.

“As you can imagine it is difficult for her to comprehend everything that has happened as well as everything that needs to be done. We will follow Yuna’s lead on when she needs our help and I know that her work family will love and support her through this,” Oswald said.

We know that many of you in this tight-knit community adore Yuna as much as we do. We know she’s part of your lives every morning. However, we ask that you respect her privacy as she grieves with her family.
