I guess the stress of being sacked put the final boot in for him.

Did they say he was 55?
A young age to go :NoNo:

Sad - he lost his Dad in April and now his boy will grow up without a father

Charles Kennedy's famous quote to the Daily Mail in August 2010 ... amid rumours he'd been contemplating defection to Labour:

:nono-1-1: ... "I will go out of this world 'feet first' :poke: ... with my Lib Dem membership card in my pocket!"

And so it came to pass ('scuse pun) ... :anerikke: ... well, at least, the latter.

RIP

[Michael Parnham]

A very nice guy, RIP.

A great debater who will be missed by many
One of the few politicians who actually talked straight and made a stand against the Iraq war

Yes very true. I remember him objecting at the time. He was the wisest of the lot of them. If the rest had listened ISIS would not exist now.

:icon_rolleyes: ... cause of death has yet to be established.
