Subject: RE: BS: (UK)Parent reaction to Speight coverage
For those outside of the UK: The guy was a well-known presenter of childrens' programmes on TV. Three months ago his partner, another well-known TV presenter, was found dead in the bath after a night of partying with cocaine, pills and alcohol. She'd let the hot watr run and scolded herself, though whether her death was from the drugs or the scolding we don't know. He was not implicated in her death, it seems to have been an accident. But he never recovered from her loss and just over a week ago he disappeared and everyone was looking for him. He was found hanged in a remote corner of a building in London's Paddington Railway Station complex. He left two suicide notes, one on his person I beliefe and the other one in his flat.
