r.i.p.
:(
omg
i can't believe this
he always seemed such a nice guy
i watched him when i was little
he was such a talented artist
its so sad that this has happened and it could have been prevented, people knew he wasn't coping
wait for the BBC to do a hypocritical speech about him after they fired him when the police questioned him about his girlfriend
I had ma first gay crush on mark speight i used to watch SMART all the time as a kid. So so sad, RIP
thats so sad, i remember watching him when i was little, he seemed like such a nice guy, RIP
How sad. My thoughts are with his family.
i used to watch him on smart every weekend
will be missed
That is so sad
This is such a tragic story but his girlfriend died of "horrific" burns in a scalding bath after days of cocaine and alcohol abuse????? That is wild? I didn't know that was possible? Was she paralyzed or did she simply pass out? What a horrific story. Did he die of an overdose?
omg i cant believe it, only just heard about it and miss him already. RIP x
Is he the guy from the grham norton effect?
This is such a tragic story but his girlfriend died of "horrific" burns in a scalding bath after days of cocaine and alcohol abuse????? That is wild? I didn't know that was possible? Was she paralyzed or did she simply pass out? What a horrific story. Suicide?
poor thing, thats so sad. My heart goes out to his family
R.I.P
xxxxxxx
Ew! Ew! Icky Poo! Just the idea of the body in the train station. Some of us take the subway daily, and it's gross enough on its own…let alone without the dead bodies. Ew! Maybe there are dead bodies and we just don't know it…Omg. Traumatized. It's sad, but really, I'm freaked to ride the train now.
Really sad… you just don't think such things can happen to people like him (look at Owen Wilson's sucide attempt - who saw THAT coming!?).
he was my idol as a kid
fucking devestated
first heath
then him
Ohhhhh god no!!!
I loved him in smart!!! he was soooooo funny and such a talented person
RIP
I'm shocked, I loved watching Smart when I was younger
but what shocks me more is how people are pathetic enough to do the whole "1st" thing on a report about somebodies death. How disrespectful can you be over something so trivial?
this so sad
:( omg i cant believe it i used to love him on SMart
i knew he would kill himself though we i found out he went
missing. my thoughts are with his family
BEYOND SAD. I ONLY JUST READ ABOUT HIM THE OTHER DAY ON YOUR SITE WHEN YOU SAID HE WAS MISSING AND RACKED WITH GUILT OVER THE ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE OF HIS FIANCEE. HIS MOM SEEMED TO BE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING TO HELP HIM WEATHER THE STORM. MY HEART BREAKS FOR HER.
RIP
Re: Pootie –
She was so high on drugs and alcohol she ran herself a scalding hot bath and got in, then passed out- so yes, the drugs caused her to get the scalding burns, from which she died.
He woke up awhile later and found her dead, then called the police.
He was cleared of all charges but obviously was so grief stricken at her death and at the end of his career through his own misadventure (he took drugs with her) he couldn't live anymore…this is a really tragic waste of 2 genuinely nice people who made the wrong choices in life. RIP.
So sad. I have watched him on tv since I was a child and although I'm not surprised he is dead I am very sorry for his family.
I'm in shock! I grew up watching him on tv, its so sad.
shocking, soso sad rest in peace.
I honestly cant believe it. Ive grown up watching him. So so sad
x
fuck
noooooooooooooooooooo
this is terrible
i used 2 watch smart all the time, he was rle funny!!!

Rest in Peace Mark, so sad x
Re: krazihottkelli/bchygrl – You are a sick bitch…this post was about someone dying, so why did you feel the need to post your crap. Krazi is right, and you probably are a 400 lb welfare mamma, sitting at her computer eating ding dongs. You are an awful, insignificant mess.
This is SO SAD.
I can't believe it, he should have been given more support.
:(
Poor man, what a terrible way to die.
RIP.
Guess he got all coked out because he felt guilty for killing his girlfriend (allegedly)
This is such a sad situation
Marks family must be devestated
I spent my early life atchin this legend on tv and i was shocked when i read hw had been found dead
RIP
xxxx
GUTTED! HAVE WATCHED HIM ON KIDS TV FOR YEARS SUCH A SHAME ITS TRAGIC! R.I.P MARK X
:[.
i lurved watching him on smart.
i almost burst into tears reading this..its so sad that he wasnt able to cope.
irreplaceable. RIP.
you tasteless bastard why don't you report something important and do it with some dignity nobend
NO sympathy.
WAIT FOR THE BBC TO BROADCAST A HYPOCRITICAL SPEECH SAYING HOW THEY THOUGHT HE WAS GREAT WHEN THEY ARE THE ONES WHO SACKED HIM INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING HIM WHEN THE POLICE QUESTIONED HIM OVER HIS GIRLFRIENDS DEATH!!
this is such a waste!!
he was brilliant
SO THERES ONE LESS JUNKY FUCKING UP THE PLANET–BIG EFFIN DEAL!!
RIP
:shocked: RIP
That train station is right by my house! Tragic.
I'm seriously upset by this! Rest in peace Mark

RIP
RIP
xxxx
OMG i was watching Smart the other day(only thing on) :O:O:O:O:O when i saw that i was like omg i used to watch that show aww R.I.P
Seriously to be taken note of: 2 day cocaine binges are BAD! REALLY REALLY BAD! Doing drugs to that excess for that length of time, can so easily end in disaster. im sure they were lovely, creative people who happened to like doing some ill-informed thrill-seeking behind closed doors. what a tragic, tragic waste.
I can't believe it, I used to watch him on bbc1 and cbbc all the time.
This is so sad =(
R.I.P…
i loved this man…and have watched im on t.v since i was really young!! such a gr8 person and a gr8 personaliy on t.v!

I watched smart all the time!
and met him once

i used to watch him on tv all the time as a kid…so sad
RIP Mark xxx
I knew this would happen. Damn drugs and what they do to peoples bodies. RIP Marky you're in our prayers. And you're with your girlfriend now, in a better place.
so sad,such a high price to pay,but i am also confused about this bath ,a scalding bath,even if she was messed up from several days of heavy partying*
i would have thought shed sober up concidering the severity of the burns,if only momentarily,god bless both families
O.M.F.G!!! i used to watch him on tv like always!! since i was little ….boo….such a shame…..vaste of life and talent. R.I.P
his girlfriend died too - i used to watch him on smart when i was a kid - really sad

Who is he? He looks a bit like Spike on Buffy. I miss you James.
RIP BTVS!!!!!!! RIP Mark too.
i grew up watching him on SMART. so sad.

'BIG PICTURE!!' should live on forever!
R.I.P xxx
how big is this train station that it took them almost a week to find him?
Re: grossed_out – Grow up
This is really sad. RIP Mark, my childhood was a lot brighter with you in it.
Tragic…
So so sad :'( I used to love watching SMart when i was little
Its so sad !
I couldn't imagine what he's been going through these past few months.
Atleast hes with natasha now !
Thoughts to the family, I can't beging to imagine what they're going through !
RIP Mark & Natasha x
I used to watch him all the time when i was a kid i loved him in SMart, It's So a sad, RIP Markxxx
Re: sorry but who? –
He was a well known childrens TV presenter. Really talented artist!
omg. i cant believe this! he was soo cool in smartart!the best one too!RIP to him and his girlfriend. hard times.
Why did it take almost a week to find his body if it was at the train station? I don't get it? Was this a suicide or a drug over dose? I didn't see a cause of death.
I watched mark on tv when i was younger and he always had such a bubbly and personality. He was definitely a character especially with his jim carrey facial expressions!! I can understand his devastation at his fiances death but i never expected anything like this to happen. I guess thinking of him as being a part of my childhood makes it so much stranger to think about his involvement in drugs but it shows how much people hide about their true lives. This is so sad. R.I.P Mark, i will always remember you as the person from my childhood and not as they show you on the news today. My condolences to your family. Your mile wide smile still makes me smile today, may you find peace where you go! xx
That's sad..Life is sometimes too hard for us to handle and this is what happens. My condolences to his family and Friends. A tragic loss.
