Even though he was quite a hellraisrr and had been very slowly dying for ages, as I once mentioned in the Immortals thread: Rest in Peace. Raymond Briggs who made the story, characters for my favourite animated film and Vesa-Matti Loiri, one of my favourite actors, horrible day this far Yeah, it was a surprise for me too, despite his past health issues. It has now been confirmed he had liver and esophageal cancer. He apparently could have lasted two more years if he had surgery, but he refused all treatment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
