link at the top isn't much clearer:-

"BBC presenter Kristian Digby has been found dead in 'unexplained circumstances' at his London flat, police said last night."

My money is on an Asteroid as well

All joking aside, he was very talented and amusing. Having studied daytime TV over a period of time, he was one of the better presenters, plus even tho he was openly gay, very pleasing to the eye.

What are the odds on it being drugs and/or sex game related?

Seems the guy had a lot to live for, talented, wealthy, and reportedly a pleasant and friendly person. Shame he either made a mistake, couldn't cope with something in his life, or whatever else may have happened.

Nah, means sick leave - 3 weeks in October for shoulder op, and now off due to broken wrist. Not unemployed yet - though having so much sick time.....

Waits for Jan Moir to pop up feeling vindicated about all these 'unnatural deaths'.

It'll be 1 of 2 things.

1) Drugs
2) Gay Kinky sex gone wrong.

3) Both

^^^^^I shall be reading the DM and Sun to find out

Yes, he also suffered from Dislexia - does that make him a goy bay?

Jokin' aside he was a great presenter, sadly he is likely to be rememberd for being gay first and a great presenter second which seems a little sad.

RIP

I liked him, he had a pleasant sense of humor on TV. I am sure this thread will lean itself towards the "I hate gays" SN Contingent who will use the death of a completely un offensive man to prove how hetro they are, but that aside its always a pity when someone who seems nice dies young.

Don't remember seeing him on the box, but by all acounts a very popular and talented man. Very sorry to hear about someone dying at such a young age.

Indeed, first and foremost the guy was amusing and talented.

My mrs is quite upset about it. Although she did say that why was he in a flat when he recently had a series on TV showing him building his own home!

A lot of very sexy gay men who look after themselves....

As Tim says, just because he was gay doesn't mean his death isn't sad and very untimely. Why is it some men feel so threatened by gay people? Just because they like men, doesn't mean they fancy you!

Yes, I watched that too. His Father replaced an exterior panel that had fallen off hours before the house warming. I also wondered where the flat fitted in to the story.

No, of course not.
But the thought of it sends shivers down the spine of most men.

IIRC the house went way over budget and stretched his finances so much that his family had to throw money at it to get it finished. Perhaps (ironically) he got in to a bit of difficulty with his property / money

Yes, that was my first thought but we'll see. Whatever the reason it is a tragic waste of a promising life.

Jeez, I knew the BBC were making cutbacks but that's a bit drastic.
