Yep it has been on teletext tonight; verdict accidental death. I find it hard to shed any tears.
There is an article pinned on the Ringstone hide noticeboard if anyone is interested (from the Daily Express I think). I certainly won't be shedding any tears.
The "Accident" happend earlier this year and was witnessed by his son. Maybe his son will be put off following in his father's footsteps. I say "accident" perhaps the verdict should be "Act of God!"
