I haven't seen this here, so if I am repeating another thread, apologies, but I saw today that Downes' daughter died, tragically, in a car accident.

Condolences to him. Absolutely tragic.

I saw it on Monday---heartbreaking news--but I heard it wasn't a car accident---and as she was in her late 20's the cause of death was unknown---did you read it was an accident?
