Jim Reed dead at 75 from lung cancer

Long-time W5 host and reporter Jim Reed has died of lung cancer, his family said Saturday. Reed, 75, also worked for CBC and TVO. His major stories at W5 included an exclusive interview with Susan Nelles, the nurse wrongly accused of murder at Toronto's Sick Kids hospital, and an interview with Yasser Arafat. He often reported on veterans, journeying to France with one of them for the 40th anniversary of D-Day. He also did a number of entertaining stories, including one on a nudist colony in France.
