Details are only 'sketchy' at the moment Liam...
The Police are still trying to paint the whole picture.
It's suspected that he may have been the victim of an 'art attack.
*just thought I'd get that out of the way*
very tragic. i guess the only good from it is to highlight the severe consequences of drug taking.
my step daughter use to enjoy his programmes on cbeebies.

even if it was only to see the blonde bird that presented it with him 
Top tip: If you find that your drink and drug use is getting you into trouble, why not stop or reduce your intake of the offending substance until you stop getting into trouble?

I think if that was the case AA and the Priory would be redundant. I think those individuals usually do try to cut down though, but unfortunately we are pre-programmed for intoxication, some more so than others. In addition it is often the troubled and dysfunctional who consume them as a last resort
Found at Paddington Station. Police suspect suicide (not run over by a train though).
All a bit grim.
I believe police started to look at the little picture before moving on to the big picture.........
Made me laugh anyway 
But seriously, he will be missed, and irreplaceable on Smart.

Indeedy a bit grim - I thought it was a bit of an odd place to end it all though? It did flash through my mind maybe his train being constantly delayed pushed him over the edge 
Apparently he was hanging from the roof for best part of 6 days; all those unaware commuters literally passing underneath his feet.
A shame really, the guy's life obviously caved in and he thought well, that's it...
The curse of children's telly?!
All coked up to fcuk, no wonder they look so full of beans

Hanged himself from the roof,

then it was at the end of my nightshift,so the newscaster couldve been talkin about anything 
Six days hanging around Paddington Station?
I hope he had plenty of marmalade sandwiches and cocoa.

What do you do when a joke is as funny as it is in bad taste?! Laugh out loud 
Neither does anyone over the age of about 8 or who doesn't live in the UK.
From what I can gather (and I've never seen any of his work) he was one of those hyper-active kids TV presenters who people say 'how does he manage to seem so jolly all the time'. Well it turns out that he, unusually for media types, managed it by being out of his mind on coke all the time. His girlfriend died in the bath a few weeks ago.
That's all I know, but I think that might be because that's about all that there is to know.

God bless Google!! Jeff - drop this anglophile shite and keep on keepin' on in a pure-bred Texan manner. Yer mam never read you Paddington Bear stories when you were a nipper - she was too busy shagging every cowpoke in a 10 mile radius.
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS, JEFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stephen Milligan? Save Jeff a Google.
One of the funniest T shirts I've seen was shortly after the demise of the above. It went something like,
Bin Bag? Check Orange? Check
What could go wrong?

Google my fucking ass...Paddington was on the telly over here when I was younger (hell, might still be, but I don't watch childrens programming any longer)...it just took a while for my drug and alcohol addled mind to recall that fact...
I don't remember the cocoa though...must be a subliminal thing with me...just ask Bloodynora...she'll tell you all about my obsession with cocoa!!!
