That's very sad. It's a big enough story to have made it to the front page of the BBC News website.

He had  pneumonia, which led to Sepsis and that's what he died of.

Still hard to believe. Reminds me of how shocking Dale's death was. Different manner of death of course but the shock value is just as high.

I only read about that afterwards.

As an F1 fan, the one I remember vividly is the crash that killed former triple World Champion Ayrton Senna in 1994. He was 34. It's probably about time I watched the 'Senna' movie documentary again just to remind myself how great he was.
