Oh dear. I always liked him.

 

[butchersapron]

Blimey. He never seemed to look well though, even when he was young.

 

[danny la rouge]

Jeez. That's a shock. I always liked him. What a shame. 51.

I remember seeing him in some murder mystery TV series (not an Agatha Christie or a Morse, but that sort of ballpark), after not thinking of him for years, and thinking to myself, "so that's what he's doing now, good for him".

RIP SH.

Is it confirmed that it was cardiac arrest? Because I saw something else saying it was cirrhosis of the liver.

 

[WouldBe]

Sad news. RIP

 

[marty21]

That is a shock , particularly as we are roughly the same age. RIP.

Gutted. I met him a few times over the years through a friend of mine. Always a gent and fiercely intelligent.

My girls liked the film Mulan when they were young. The villain was called Shan Yu, and there's this scene where he appears with a florish on the Great Wall of China, and there's a gasp and the goodies say ":gasp: Shan Yu!". Our family running joke was to say ":gasp: Sean Hughes!"

I hoped one day to meet him and tell him that.

[trashpony]

He wasn't a very nice person in my experience but I'm sorry he's died. That's no age

 

[strung out]

Had the pleasure of meeting him at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth and VERY funny.

 

[Idris2002]

What's the story behind this one, does anyone know?

Looking at more recent photos of him with the benefit of hindsight, that's not that surprising. RIP.
