Wow. Too young...

"Minghella's agent said she could not provide details of how he died."

I wonder what happened.

Very sad news. Like the Heath Ledger death it was the last headline one expected to see. Reading between the lines what really killed him was overwork. A lesson to us all in our advancing years to learn to take it easy now and again. Your heart goes out to his family.

His TV adaptation of The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency goes out this Easter. Will be poignant.
