Glenn Quinn

I don't know how many people here watch or used to watch Angel, but...

Glenn Quinn, the actor who played Doyle in the first season of Angel died last week, aged just 32.

I was just looking at the BBC's webpages last night and found this.

It's shocking when people so young die. Makes you think a lot about your own mortality.

Havn't looked at the news for myself, but i was told he OD'd

Yup - overdose seems the main theory- tho no official cause of death has been announced.
It's a shame because he was a great actor with great potential and now that's all gone - at the age of 32!

shame really, because he was possibly the only interesting and amusing character in Angel... but alas, if he did OD then it's his own fault. .

I heard a rumour somewhere that he died from a heart attack. Difficult to know what's true and what isn't until there's an official announcement.

Well if he OD'd, then perhaps he did have a Heart attack.

On the one hand I thought as you did about OD'ing etc Spud, and yet I can see how it could be all to easy to fall into such habits, blame should fall more squarely on dealers.

that's all well and true, but what of those people who do try to get help for their addiction but the dealers and their 'friends' push them into taking more and more?
