Animal X Researcher Dies
Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 3rd, 2007
One of the “Animal X” staff members died in 2006, but I am lacking a specific date on which the death occurred.
The program’s Tony White, 54, died an untimely death, from a massive heart attack in Australia. He was the show’s senior researcher and died during the production of “Animal X: Natural Mystery Unit.”
White had also been involved in the endangered species series “Before It’s Too Late” and the general animal series, “Animal Allies.” He furthermore had a weekly radio show in the UK and some years ago he wrote a four-part documentary series for BBC Radio on Glenn Miller.
Anyone know the exact date of his death?
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.

He had a flair for the dramatic, I’ll say that. I enjoyed the topics that show tackled though!!!
We (Bill and Bob Clark) were working with Tony on the AnimalX-third series about monsters of the deep when he suddenly passed away. We were informed by them that he died sometime during the first week of June, 2004. He was a very kind man and we enjoyed the short time we were able to work with him.
