Me too Tortoise. My kids loved him.

treacletart · 13/04/2008 17:21

Very sad. I shall miss him.

Spidermama · 13/04/2008 17:21

Natasha's mum said she was so sad for him because he even cried in his sleep. He was in so much pain. At least he's at peace now.

crackinggoodegg · 13/04/2008 17:22

What a waste of life - both of them - very, very sad. Their families must be absolutely devastated.

Spidermama · 13/04/2008 17:23

He was so talented too. Utterly tragic. Devastating for the family. I was so hoping he'd show up.

MaureenMLove · 13/04/2008 17:23

Oh no! That's dreadful. Poor, poor man. What an unbelievable loss to Childrens TV and of course his poor family.
