Shit. He died after all? Being shot in the face is no way to go.
I read that it was drugs related. Is it so?
Kinda worried for the brilliant Ricky Hatton in the same way too. I think that the lad took 35,000 support to Las Vegas? Good luck with his fight tomorrow night.
Didn't the flash Prince Naseem get involved in drugs after his career ended?

Larry Hagman. aka J.R. Ewing.
Soapstar in Dallas, big in the eighties. When this USA soap opera (and Dynasty) crushed Crossroads and Corrie. He was a real love/hate actor figure.
I might be wrong, but I would suggest that one of the largest ever viewing figures, on British tv for a soap operam was when the question was asked, "who shot JR"?
A housewives choice, but he was a good actor, that he got to be hated and loved by so manypeople, as JR Ewing.
Cancer got him. Like so many others these days.
RIP

For those of us born in the 70's, the losses of Hagman and Camacho were big news.
