Strange, how easy it is to take someone for granted until they're gone.
What a brilliant talent, taken from us far too soon. I've enjoyed every character that Rik has portrayed. He gave each and every one his utmost.
We'll miss you Rik!, God Bless

Anyone for a Vodka Margarine ?

The SAS Sergeant in Whoops Apocolypse, by far his best role!

Such a shame, way too early.

Indeed, what a loss.
According to our news, police said there were no suspicious circumstances.
This is usually a euphemism for suicide. Makes you wonder.
RIP :((

Hopefully it wasn't suicide. I had a cousin (about my age) who was in a motorcycle wreck years ago. He was in a coma for a couple of months...he was never the same afterwards. His health deteriorated while he spent his final years in an old folks home. I guess some accidents kill you outright while others kill you over time. :(

Maybe the term is used for a possible suicide if no medical history, but he has suffered fits due to the eplepsy he had since the accident. It is thought this might have happened during a fit.

I hope you're both right. Apparently there's a post-mortem scheduled.
