Inquest says he died as a result of a "cocktail" of drugs. They weren't exaggerating:

"The court heard that the provisional cause of Danan’s death was combined toxicity of heroin, heroin-substitute methadone, painkiller codeine, anxiety-treatment pregabalin, cocaine, insomnia-treatment zopiclone, and it was contributed to by antidepressant benzodiazepine."

That’d do it

What you could call a belt and braces approach, although the belt thing might be unfortunate wording.

Celebs nowadays are lightweights. That would have been a cheeky bump to get you through to lunchtime, back in the 90s.

Of course , corrective text

John 'Paddy' Hemingway, the last surviving Battle of Britain pilot, has died aged 105

Former Formula 1 team owner and broadcaster Eddie Jordan dies aged 76

That’s a shame, he seemed like a bit of a character

George " The Grill" Foreman
age 75

Those were the days and the boxers. To be Heavyweight Champion of the World - what a title.

I wonder if St. Peter will allow Ali and Foreman a re-match of the "Rumble in the Jungle".

RIP George.

Andy Peebles - 76.

Dr Kildare AKA Richard Chamberlin age 90.
Also starred in Shogun and Thorn Birds.

I was quite a lot older before I realised my mum watched Dr Kildare religiously on Friday evenings because she had the hots for him. Oh, the innocence of a pre-teenager.

PC Trevor Lock, the policeman who was taken hostage in the siege of the Iranian embassy in 1980, has died aged 85.

I remember being in bed with my then GF in her flat in the area when the SAS went in and in a state of post coitus relaxation, wondering what are those loud firework type noises.
