I agree. His comedy helped me through some very dark times in my life. He will be sorely missed.

Excerpted from From The Independant from 10 June -

His wife, Barbara Robbin, who is understood to have found him dead, said she did not know how he had died.

Speaking outside the couple's home in Barnes, south-west London, Ms Robbin said: "We don't know yet what happened. He had a strong heart, so I don't think it was a heart attack. But we just don't know until the coroner's report.

"Maybe he had a fit, maybe it was his heart. We just don't know."

Police said they were called by the London Ambulance Service to a house in Barnes, south-west London where "a man, aged in his 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene", but added that the death was not believed to be suspicious.

Very sad news. I too wondered what happened to him, at such a relatively young age, and it seems that no one knows just yet. He sure was a character, and his humour was absolutely revolutionary.
