Yeah i know. Wondering if he was living in the UK at the time so that he could get NHS treatment? Anyway what a sad and somewhat mundane way to go :(

so many mysteries surrounded his death - like, wasn't he supposed to have died some time before his family made it public?

this story, though... what a waste. what a tragedy.

he was born in the uk, grew up and lived in the us and then was deported later in life iirc

knew he was born in london, didn't know about the deportation though. any idea why?
― NickB, Thursday, 6 July 2023 21:13 (ten months ago) link
seems complicated but partially because paperwork was too expensive/never filed when he was a kid, and then a buncha stuff never went through as it should've when he was an adult, plus he kept getting arrested, seems pretty kafkaesque

Slick Rick similarly faced deportation to the UK (Jesus, where IS he?)
