General Chat / Robin Cook killed in fall

He had a heart attack, collapsed backwards and broke his neck whilst hill-walking.

Truly one of the best politicians we have had.

Didn't know he'd broken his neck - such a sudden thing to happen! Kinda makes you wonder whether healthy lifestyles are worth it...

I agree about him being a great politician - he was very straightforward, none of this slimy business one normally associates with MPs. Thoughts with his family.

How high was he when he was in office?

^ you can read about it in the article, and there's links to tributes to him if you want to know more.

I liked him, even though i'm mostly indifferent to the country's politics.
