If there's one constant in this fickle, fickle world of ours, it's that Derryn Hinch will, without fail, find the time to insult, upset and scandalise those around him. And he's particularly fond, it seems, of doing this when the object of his waffling is no longer around to defend themselves.

To wit, he's now sounding off about what he sees as the cause of his late 3AW colleague Clinton Grybas' sad and sudden death earlier in the year at the age of 35. Naturally, Grybas' family (and no doubt doctors) have refuted Hinch's soundbites.

All together now: DERRRYYYYYNN!

The family of football commentator Clinton Grybas has lashed out at radio host Derryn Hinch after he announced his former 3AW colleague died from a food allergy and heart condition.

The talented Victorian sport broadcaster's parents angrily denied the allergy claim.

Yesterday, an upset Sandra Grybas insisted the exact cause of her son's death remained a mystery. Mrs Grybas said a coroner had painted a possible scenario, but she declined to divulge the information.

"It's all rumour and innuendo, and we have nothing to say," she said.

Grybas father, Vic, said: "The coroner found it was unable to be ascertained."

Mr Hinch reported a coroner had found the combined effects of an allergy to something he ate or drank the night before and a faulty heart valve had claimed Grybas's life.

Oh but isn't it clear, you guys? Derryn IS the coroner! He knows EVERYTHING!

Seriously, Hinchy - don't you think cruising the obituaries for material is a bit... naff? Particularly when they were your colleagues! Heaven forbid he actually talk about things that are, you know, current and not to do with speculation and innuendo.
