Such a shame for someone so young to die. I wonder what the cause of death was? Boyzone were not known for their rocker drug taking ways so it's unlikely to be drug related.

Until it's proven otherwise I'm going with Lupus.

Occasionally people do just... die. Happened to a friend of mine. Went to bed one night and never woke up. There was an autopsy but I didn't hear the findings - didn't seem an appropriate thing to ask TBH. I think he was probably in his late 30's.

Happens to a lot of sports people too, something just stops working. Your human body is a fairly complex machine, at the end of the day.

We had a lad at school die walking home from a cricket match a few years back. Think he was 15. Most sad.

When I was 18, I got home from work to hear that one of the most healthy boys I'd been to school with had just dropped dead. He'd been captain of various school teams, played right up to county leagues, and then he died one day.

It was really sad. But, as others have said, it just happens. You never know when, or to whom.

That is when you play a "Dead Pool". Write a list of 5 people who may die, and the winner is the one with most dead people on their list. Rule one you must assist anyone on their way. :shock:

Yes, one of them was straight onto the relevant message boards :roll:

And my phone hasn't stopped with crude, but quite funny jokes :)

Happened to someone I know too. 32, seemed healthy if a tad stressed. He was putting something in the loft and collapsed when he came down. Never got up again....

On a similar note did you all hear about the dead people episode of South Park? Said in the press they had gone too far. South Park CAN'T do too far! It's what they specialise in and if they've pushed some buttons it's worked. If we can't laugh at life and death what's the point? After all it happens to us all sooner or later.

The season 6 opener was one of the most fascinating, heart-felt, well-written bits of character driven television I've ever watched.
And that's saying a lot. But then, you know that Mark

Oh, and I reckon it was Guillain-Barré, complicated by vasculitis and cardiomyopathy. But I'm not a diagnostic genius with my own department.

Hmm, diagnosis by popular vote. I can see a TV series coming on here!
