The heartbroken wife of comedian Rik Mayall said last night that she was mystified by the 56-year-old’s sudden death.
Clutching a tissue outside their family home where she found his body yesterday, Barbara Robbin said her husband had ‘a strong heart’, adding: ‘I don’t think it was a heart attack but we just don’t know until the coroner’s report.’
The 58-year-old make-up artist went on to say: ‘Maybe he had a fit, maybe it was his heart. We just don’t know.’
