      He had the same heart condition that I have, it’s called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and is genetic. The prognosis is you’ll either live a long normal life, or have a sudden instant death. Sadly Rich had the latter. So sad

    For people who asked, his elder daughter didn't appear because Richard didn't have a good relationship with her mother. He was very young when Samantha was born and they only re-connected not long before he died. She did visit him, Judy and Kate in Ascot where they lived, Judy referred to her as "Richard in a frock"😀. He called Samantha the night before he died arranging to see her. Robbie Williams wrote 'Baby Girl Window' about Richard and Samantha's relationship.

      He wasn't ill,
      He died suddenly from a undetected heart condition,
      He had a heart attack in his sleep
