To be saddened by the Death of the TV presenter Christian Digby

I was really shocked and saddened to read about the death of Christian Digby. I used to love watching him on To Buy or Not To Buy, and loved his happy cheerful and well mannered personality. He will be sadly missed.

I heard that he died during a sex game which one is nearly asphixiated. Its really sad that people play with their own lives like this

yanbu to be saddened, but YABU to have then added your paragraph about it being due to a sex game when so far the cause of death is "unexplained".

People play with their own lives every time they get in a car, have a few drinks, play sports etc etc

I don't like the tone of the OP at all.

UndercoverWorker · 02/03/2010 17:42

I have no idea who he was but any death is sad, particularly of one so young.

ShowOfHands · 02/03/2010 17:43

I think this is quite insensitive actually. There's a thread already in 'in the news' and I don't think discussion of sex games is appropriate right now. It smacks of rubber necking.

And it's Kristian.

BessieBoots · 02/03/2010 17:44

Really sad
Cause of death is not relevant, don't judge him...

bernadetteoflourdes · 02/03/2010 17:51

We don't know why he died, poor bloke may have had a heart attack. Iamsonottelling getting into a car is hardly in the same "danger" league as auto asphixiation, and it is not very nice for the people who find the bodies when it goes wrong, it is pure russian Roulette and not a cosy little safe sex parlour game FFS. But dont relate that last bit to KD as it is all hearsay RIP

pigletmania · 02/03/2010 17:53

Blimey get your claws out now please! From what i heard in the news it might have been due to a sex game gone wrong. He was in the pubic so these things will be discussed, whether its Christian,Jade Michael J or Princess Diana. My op was not meant to cause offence just to express my sadness of the parting of a lovely presenter, so steady on. Its not the first time my op has been taken totally out of context and swung back at me. Cant please everyone!

Another young life snipped, awful. I really liked him.

pigletmania · 02/03/2010 17:55

Sorry Kristian, my thoughlessness.

BitOfFun · 02/03/2010 17:55

It is Kristian, yes. But I called him Krustian on another thread with my shit typing, so I can't talk.

There is a long thread in In The News if you look, piglet.

displayuntilbestbefore · 02/03/2010 17:55

Out of context?
You could have finished your OP with saying how sad you were that he had died, but you then went on to mention the sex game and how sad that people "play with their own lives like this"

If you don't want to offend, re-read and edit your OPs before posting.

pigletmania · 02/03/2010 17:55

Sorry Kristian, my thoughlessness

bernadetteoflourdes · 02/03/2010 17:56

Yeah Piglet I do tend to agree and I have just had a v.tastless thought. Coffin or Urn ?
To Buy or Not to Buy!

ilovesprouts · 02/03/2010 17:56

pigletmania · 02/03/2010 17:56

WTF?

JeremyVile · 02/03/2010 17:58

Fgs.
Dont start bleating about being taken out of context.
Completely ignoring the idle speculation, I think its pretty bad taste that you chose Aibu to express your sadness.

Why did you, btw?

pigletmania · 02/03/2010 18:00

Because i am here most of the time

No, piglet, I am not perfect but I don't pretend to post about one thing when what I really want is a debate started on some salacious speculation.
