British actor, writer and comedian Rik Mayall, who helped spearhead a new wave of alternative comedy in the 1980s, has died at his London home. He was 56. At the time of writing the exact cause of death is unknown.
Speaking to journalists outside their home in the London suburb of Barnes, Mayall’s wife, Barbara Robbin, said ‘I don’t think it was a heart attack but we just don’t know until the coroner’s report … Maybe he had a fit, maybe it was his heart. We just don’t know.’
