Several Toronto media outlets, including
Eye Weekly, are reporting that veteran Toronto DJ
Martin Streek has committed suicide.
For those living outside of Toronto, Martin Streek's name may be unfamiliar, but for anyone who came of age in the last two decades listening to
102.1 The Edge, the name
Martin Streek is synonymous with Toronto rock radio. He hosted the
Thursday 30 Countdown and various live events.
Streek left what amounts to a
suicide note as his Facebook status shortly before the news of his death spread throughout Toronto on Monday night.
"So...I guess that's it...thanks everyone...I'm sorry to those I should
be sorry to, I love you to those that I love, and I will see you all
again soon (not too soon though)... Let the stories begin."
Martin Streek had recently been let go from the Edge after twenty years of service.
