British radio broadcaster Tim Gough died at age 55 Monday after he experienced a medical emergency while on the air.

Gough died "from a suspected heart attack" during an episode of his show on GenX Radio Suffolk, according to a press release from the station.

He was pronounced dead just before 8 a.m. local time at his home in Lackford, Suffolk, per the release.

"Tim was doing what he loved" when he died, the station said. "The entire GenX Radio family are shocked and devastated beyond words."

"Tim was a hugely experienced and highly talented broadcaster with an army of fans for his daily show," GenX Radio Suffolk said. "He is a very sad loss to radio and the county of Suffolk."

Gough's career began at Radio Orwell in 1986, according to The Guardian.

The broadcaster first began working with GenX Radio Suffolk in the 1980s, Managing Director James Hazell said in Monday's release.

Gough is survived by his mother, brother, sister, and son, according to the station.
