Quite.  I wasn't on brilliant terms with my wife last time I saw her, but I'd at least have gone out into the garden and done it.

I'd seen a headline that he had passed away but hadn't read how before. Bloody hell.

That's pretty sad.

Same here! Wow. Saw a few RIP posts on Facebook but didn't realise the circumstances.

Blimey! Like others I saw the news he'd died but not like that. His wife and family must be devastated.

Butch had tax problems going on for years as well as the booze.
Very sad for him to go like that.

Jeez, that's awful.  RIP, and thought with his loved ones.
