Any word how? He wasn't that old.

Yes, he was younger than me. I saw nothing about cause of death.

I heard about it in an email from my brother, who does audio books--Robin Sachs was well known in that community. The email included a link to a BBC story on his death (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21343137), which says he was 61 but doesn't give a cause. There is a link under the story to Sach's website, which doesn't name a cause either but says it was "sudden and unexpected." Somewhat shockingly, 2 posts down is a birthday message, from a year ago...almost exactly. His birthday was Feb. 5th.

An odd thing: Ethan Rayne made an appearance in the last 2 issues of "Angel & Faith," including being on the cover of issue 17 (http://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/21-602/Angel-Faith-17-Steve-Morris-cover).
