I remember him when I was younger in that Drop Dead Fred film.  So sad.

How sad. I thought he was never the same after his accident. RIP funny man.

OMG i just seen this,,,does anyone know what happened??. I really liked him. RIP Rick Mayell,, Bless him.

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.

Yeah i was just thinking it was him that had the acident on his land on a Quad Bike i think some time ago??, yes im sure it was. awww.

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

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.
