This is sad news but a refreshing statement about dying there which I appreciate more than the usual standard statement from grieving relatives when a celebrity passes away - I suppose the fear of dying is mostly about the fear of suffering and of missing out... but when you accept that (unless, you know, you die in a horrible accident) your body just slowly shuts down in a way that's designed to not cause you pain (why would it? Your body's out to protect your mind and vice versa
) and Paul Daniels has lived a long, successful and happy life and will be sorely missed...
