Depends on who you want to believe. Most sites are just reporting that he is in serious condition in the hospital.

His family seems pretty upset.

Yup, guess it was just rumor

Well, now he's dead.

They never learn. It's not the crime. It's the coverup.

My favorite Merlin ever, Nicol Williamson, is dead. Sounds like he was no walk in the park to work with. But, to have had Helen Mirren as an ex means one has lived! Pardon me a moment. (*sigh* Helen Mirren *sigh*)

I loved WBK, back in the day. Thanks for the laughs and RIP Robert.

My friend, Ian Abercrombie. :(

Hmm, Ian's link isn't working. Here's a new one.

I wonder if Miss Benes has gone to work for the Hollywood Reporter?

I am sorry about your friend. It sounds like he was a very talented man.
