Film Maker Dies In Newcastle
 
Hardly the wisest thing to do, living rough at this time of year. Mind you, his death may well reinforce the point his film was intended to make.:(

Yes I watched it too. Such a decent looking and well respected chap. It said they are questioning a couple of drug dealing types, so maybe he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, possibly asking too many questions as journalists do. I cannot believe that a young strapping fellow like that, sleeping in an abandoned warehouse, would die simply from hypothermia.:(

The 2 were bailed on drugs charges, it's been bloody freezing this week, as low as -4 / -6 at night

I spent the day in York yesterday and was saddened by the number of people sleeping rough, only used to see that in London when I was a lad
