I used to enjoy SMart when I was younger.
The tabloid papers really villified him over the death of his gf. It's awful.

Aw, that's such a shame.
I used to watch SMart as well.

my youngest son is such a huge fan of his, he is so upsett. still its a good way for me to have another anti-drugs chat with him.

I'm not surprised, but this is sad.
The tragedy behind childrens' tv , eh?

My sister always used to hate him when she was younger, and recently I asked her if she remembered why. She said "Because his hair was such a hard colour to define". That amused me.

I loved SMart when I was a kid. I expected he'd be found dead after he was reported as missing.

I don't really care about his "talents" or anything like that, this is just unspeakably sad. I never usually bat an eyelid at all these tragedies in the news but something about this one kills me.

the poor guy must have had is heart completely destroyed.

yeah, i know where you're coming from here. i think his world just collapsed around him when his girlfriend died. he cut such a lonely, disconsolate figure in that picture they posted of him on the underground.

i wonder if this will flag anything about the police maybe having handled it better?

I was too old for SMart I think...

Yeah, his guilt in the situation was a little implied.

As if loads of young people don't take drugs. I don't want to say "she was unlucky" because taking coke/sleeping pills/drinking is going to carry that risk, but I'm sure thousands of people get away with what killed her all the time.

You can see why would be cut up about it.

R.I.P.
As someone who has worked with kids, the ability to connect with and entertain them is a far more special thing than you might realise, and past his strange head shape and hair colour he obviously had it in spades.

So sad. Anyone know the cause of death yet?

not hit by a train but otherwise unexplained. It's so fucking sad.

aw. i loved him when i was little. poor guy.

I'll answer my own question.

- he was found hanging

Where did you find this out?

THE DAILY MAIL

I remember seeing a recent photo of him and thinking how he appeared to age a decade in a matter of months following the death of Natasha, he looked absolutely haunted. So sad.
