I had neve heard or read of this person, or persons (girlfriend), until this post/bloggings, however, from what I read, he inspired and entertained the masses in the UK (kudos to him)…………..HOWEVER, I hope that people that all the people that loved him - and read these blogs, will LEARN something from this tragedy…….REGARDLESS of who you are, or what your life in lot is, drugs will only lead to 1 of 2 paths - DEATH (either by one's own hand, or someone else's) …..OR……..JAIL! (YES, there IS a possibility of coming CLEAN, via rehab, etc), HOWEVER, take a look at people around you, that you know do drugs (or used to), I bet one, many, or all of them, either DIED, or went to JAIL!!!!!!
Next time you elect to do drugs, REMEMBER, it's DEATH or JAIL
(then, take your pick)
Peace to all.
So sad, I loved him on smart. He was a fantastic presenter, and its so sad what happened to him. RIP.
This is just so sad, I remember watching SMart (kids art programme) when I was younger, and he used to host a lot of saturday morning kids shows. This is just shocking. RIP
He used to be so fun and lively on his show for kids. its truly sad that he passed away
Re: HITLUR –
shut up.
you blatently have no feelings.
i'm just so pleased that nobody i know thinks like you.
Re: Staphny –
If this is your idea of a joke, NOT FUNNY AT ALL.
If you are not joking, please please get help. Suicide is easy enough for you (to do, not to choose to do) but it is so hard for everyone else. Please don't.

he was a genius and we will miss him!!
i grew up with this guys
he was so funny and creative and connected with kids so much!
i hope they show some smart episodes in his honour

Re: grossed_out – YOUR A FUCKING MORON!
INTERESTING. I USED TO WATCH HIM ON TV AND THINK TO MYSELF "I WISH THIS BASTARD WOULD HANG HIMSELF". I GUESS I GOT MY WISH . NOW I HOPE I WIN THE LOTTERY
It's hanged when referring to a person, not hung. No matter what the tense.
not to be lame but…it's not hung, the correct word would be hanged
He was found hanged… not hung. Get your grammar correct please.
***hanged, not "hung"
Who cares about grammar right now.
This is so sad, a real tragedy.
RIP Mark

Paintings and stockings are "hung," people are "hanged." Read a book.
WHY??? NO!!!! He should have had LOTS of kids… we need more blondes in this world….
:( this is so sad.. RIP.
my thoughts are with his friends and family
