Young?  He was almost 60.

That is relatively young given the life expectancy in the Uk though, no?

The average life expectancy at birth in the 1940s was about 65.  Not that big a difference.  (The current life expectancy at birth is about 75 I believe.)

At any rate, I am amused by the headline on wikipedia:

"Robin Cook (pictured), former Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom, dies after collapsing whilst climbing Ben Stack."

They make it sound like he died mid-coitus.

That did happen to a "rising star" Tory M.P in the mid '90's... sort of. Guy called Stephen Milligan; he died during what is usually described as a "bizarre sexual act"

If I remember right he was mp for Eastleigh and an orange or tangerine was involved in the act

Hmm, now I want to hear this story.
