Richard Michael Mayall (7 March 1958 – 9 June 2014) was an English actor, stand-up comedian and writer. Mayall died suddenly from a heart attack at his home in London on 9 June 2014 at the age of 56.

He played obnoxious, poetry-writing anarchist Rick in The Young Ones with his friend Adrian Edmondson. The pair later starred in the sitcom Bottom.

A pioneer of the 1980s alternative comedy scene, Mayall also appeared in Blackadder and The New Statesman.

Police said they were called to reports of a sudden death of a man in his 50s at 13:19 BST on Monday, in Barnes in south west London.

London Ambulance Service said "a man, aged in his 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene".

The Metropolitan Police said the death was not believed to be suspicious.

The actor, who was married with three children, was left seriously ill after a quad bike accident in 1998 which left him in a coma for several days.

He was playing a role of a fictional character.  Only this, and nothing more.

This "StanczykTestify" character seems to be just another run-of-the-mill woo-woo conspiracy theorist

You'd think the writer of the film would be in trouble but she's still alive..Rik was fairly popular in the UK but not that popular.
I can see why you thought he may have been killed but don't worry about it. You've got your own problems to deal with ;)
