Although having said that, I'm hearing (completely off the record) that he might have been a bit too into the old showbiz powder.

Turns out this was the cause of Jamal Edwards' death. White lines: don't do it.

Recreational drugs.

 

Still makes it sound like a playground for grown ups. I blame the parents of course, bopping around to Robin S in barns in the early 90s.

No, but the anti-vax brigade are out in force on Twitter.

 

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.

Weird timing, a wedding day, mind - I'm wondering if some underlying condition combined with stress/excitement or suicide

A friend of hers on twitter seemed to suggest it was a natural death and not suicide, FWIW.

Dad's Army – Caroline Dowdeswell (77) who played Janet King is still alive, as is Michael Knowles (85) who played Captain Cutts.

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.
