Shaun H Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Was listening to radio at work earlier today and they were saying how the Massai (sp?) tribes treated him like a god, they would travel hundreds of miles just to see him pass by. Weirdly enough it turned out they knew he was sick without any outside contact :'( :'( R.I.P. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Yeah I heard that this morning. Such a tragic death cos it was unexpected (Y) RIP Mr Burns "Unexpected" in that his health had gone downhill again over the last 6 months, and he feel into a coma 5 days ago? He'd had his first tumour in 2003, which was when he had to drop out of WRC whilst in the lead 'cos he blacked out mid-drive. That was treated, but it came back again, and he had surgery in '04 (I think) and then again this year to try and cure it, but it didn't work, sadly. Sucks that he's died, anyway. 34's too young, and he had so much talent. Seeing as he's the only English WRC winner, you'd have thought there'd have been more in the news about it. Ah well, RIP.
