Rest in peace James.

Who he?

Noooooo

That’s sad. I used to love Dawson Creek. 48 is very young.

Oh how sad. He always seems like a nice guy.

I loved loved loved Dawsons Creek. So sad. He was only in his 40s

Nooo.

How sad. Poor guy.

Aww that is such a shame,

Jesus so young.

RIP Dawson!!!

I just had a notification about this. So very sad.

I thought he had looked healthier recently, so I was hoping we wouldn’t hear this news any time soon.

May he now be at peace.

What happened, do you know, op?

He's had terminal bowel cancer for a couple of years.

Very sad about this. Thinking of his wife and six DC

That’s a shock. Rest in peace James

That is so sad. I loved Dawson's creek. RIP

Ah…. So young

I just had the notification and was so sad about it! Dawson’s creek got me through 6th form and uni!

@KilkennyCats he had bowel cancer I believe. It’s so sad. He seemed a little stronger recently too.

So very very disrespectful. Just google next time.

RIP James. Way way too young to go.

Very sad news 😢 I knew he was unwell, but hoped he would have longer with his young family

How sad. I was hoping he would overcome it. Such a young family too.

Oh goodness, I feel for his wife and his children. I loved Dawsons Creek, it was a real feature of my late teens and early 20s and I was a similar age to the cast. Cancer is an absolute bastard.

BBC news has it now.

I'm in tears, I didn't realise how close this was. I hoped so much that he would have longer with his children.

Thoughts are with all his family and his co-stars who were clearly still so very close with him.
