Outside chance of suicide, but it's probably SADS - a friend of mine died that way. It's more common than people think. They only hear about the ones who drop dead playing football because the drama plays out in public, whereas in a lot of cases, like my friend (and also a friend of a friend) the person just goes to sleep and doesn't wake up.

The Army Game – Frank Williams MAY have been the last surviving cast member. Depends if Michael Stainton (b. 1935, IMDb) is still with us. His last role was in 2002. The GRO Index tends to suggest that he was alive up to 2021, and I'd expect his passing to be noted somewhere as he was very prolific, even though he only really played supporting roles. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
