Verbal 09-06-2014 03:11 PM

He was one of my comedic heroes, The Young Ones, Blackadder and Bottom were legendary shows. Doesn't seem to be much information about as to how he died yet though. Massive shame.

AnnieK 09-06-2014 03:13 PM

"Speaking last year he said: "The main difference between now and before my accident is I'm just very glad to be alive."

"The star was seriously ill after a quad bike accident in 1998 which left him in a coma for several days."

Livia 09-06-2014 06:31 PM

Tragic news... he'll be missed by a lot of people, and 56 is no age for someone to die. RIP Rik.

Yes but he was
in coma back in '98
after that accident.


So he was not the same after that tragic accident

Some reports do not even say about his coma

Marsh. 09-06-2014 06:36 PM

That was 16 years ago. There's no indication his death is related. :confused:

Yes but he was lucky to be Alive
all I am saying is that injury
made his life short.

No, I realise that. I suppose one way to look at it is that his family had him for sixteen extra years after the accident. 56 is still very young though.

How do you work that out? Again, we don't know that accident had anything to do with his death. Do we?

Livia 09-06-2014 06:48 PM

If it was serious enough to put him in a coma for any length of time people will naturally assume it is connected. We'll have to wait and see... Whatever the cause, it's really sad.

I met Shaun on a Big Brother forum and I'm reading about Rik Mayall's death on a Big Brother forum so there we go, the circle of life

Of course, I'm just a little tired of Arista posting every minor thought as though it is fact.
