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.

He will be sadly missed by everyone who liked his outrageous in your face, over the top acting he was brilliant to watch from the Young Ones to Black Adder!
