Death Anniversary Thread

TV actor Barry Evans (Doctor In The House, Mind Your Language)

77369.jpg

found dead in a dilapidated bungalow, 11-February 1997, aged 53.

 

 

Giving rise to the notion that the Doctor in the House series is cursed as Robin Nedwell died young too and we all know about Dickie O. Barry Evans seems to be haunting me slightly at the moment as his name is always cropping up on websites I visit, but then I do visit a lot of death related websites and his death was quite intriguing.

Intriguing and a little sad. This link is a forum thread on actors who died destitute. Some surprising names in there.

Thanks for that, time. I'd forgotten I'm actually a forum member there too. I see Brinsworth House and Denville Hall are mentioned
