Love that! His twitter account just has the words 'The End'.

I just read it on the Sky News site. There was no mention of the cause of death. sad

So sad, he was an amazing man. I met him years ago at our children's school Book Week, he captivated the children and certainly got my DS in to reading.
He's been so stoic in the face of having early onset dementia, a truly brave man.

Do not know the circumstances- but I have to say I am 'so glad' he didn't have to live the nightmare he would have hated- of years and years with advanced Alzheimers. Did he die of natural causes- as he was very much in favour of assisted death?
