..very sad, no age at all poor guy..:sad:..thoughts to his family and friends...

He lost his seat as an MP after 32 years, I could be wrong but it sounds like it might be suicide. RIP

Very sad to hear, he died suddenly at home yesterday so it rather sounds like a heart attack.

Lovely principled guy, a loss to politics

A real loss, great politician

Wow this is shocking and desperately sad. RIP

Such sad news. He leaves behind a young son.
If only more politicians had the personal touch and down to earth approach he had.
R.I.P. To all his family and friends.

Sad news. Remember watching his constituency result last month and feeling sorry for him. RIP.

He seemed like a good guy,and no age at all,such a shame,his poor family.

Poor guy, as said no age at all :(

Charles Kennedy is an MP I admired greatly.
His conviction on what he stood for,what he believed to be right and his endless work for his constituents are things he should always be remembered for.

I was really sad for him in May when he lost his seat in Ross Skye and Lochaber,he was one MP I thought the Scots would never turn away from.
He was against the coalition with the Conservatives in 2010 and his lone stance on the Iraq war, when all the rest of parliament and the press too,were in favour of it, has been well documented on the news today.

He brought the Lib Dems to the powerful position they held in 2010,Nick Clegg only held onto the success Charles kennedy achieved in 2005.

My thoughts go out to his family.
R.I.P.

He was one of those MPs who seemed to be admired by people across the board. I'm very sad to hear of his death, I wonder if his alcoholism played a part? Very sad...

Really sad news and what a massive loss to politics. RIP. :(

What a guy.. :)

Wow, shocking stuff.

R.I.P.

Yes - very regretful news. He was an old style politician who was respected by people of all political persuasions. RIP.

A lovely charismatic principled man. He stood against the Iraq war at an horrific time in british history and for that alone I doff my cap to a great man

PM live now

Did you watch this Kizzy, really the best side of politics when all parties and MPs come to pay tribute to a really decent and good MP and person.

If all MPs had the same attitude as Charles Kennedy, politics and the UK would be a far better place to be and would be governed far more fairly too.

I admired Charles bigtime,even with his problems he remained a human being to really look up to and admire.
parliament was always going to be the worse for him cruelly losing his seat in May, now very sadly politics is the big loser in that he will not be back at some point ever again.

Awful to think he lost his Father in April, still fought to try to hold his seat in the election, was sadly and cruelly beaten there and now his own life ended at 55.
It does really make you wonder why but also realise that,'really bad things do happen to really good people'.

It really is a shame. One of very few politicians who seems to genuinely care, regardless if you like his policies or not

I watched the PM but that's it, it's so sad he couldn't bring his addiction under control.
Good, principled, educated people can and do battle with inner demons and find life and loss difficult.
