It didn't say how or what caused it, but apparently he had ben working recently.  As Patch said he semed to change after his accident, wasn't it a  bike accident or something, can't remember now.  Sad for his family.

It's so sad.  I've seen somewhere that he had his accident in 1998.  He was only the same age as me.

"This house will become a shrine, and punks and skins and rastas will all gather round and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader. And all the grown-ups will say, "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say, "Haven't you heard? Rick is dead! The People's Poet is dead"

Sad news indeed

[saasher2012]

Yes your right both he & Ozzy Osbourne had similar accidents.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Oh dear that is sad, makes you think though, he is only 2 years older than me.

Just watched it on the news,,,, i expect his family and Ade Edmondson are heartbroken,,,and lots of others who worked with him

I can't say I ever liked him, but he was a superb actor and a consummate professional.  A sad loss indeed; he was a committed and principled man.  Damn shame, it's no age.
