On January 22, 1997, depression and the death of his mother are believed to have contributed to MacKenzie's suicide. He overdosed on a combination of the anti-depressant amitriptyline, paracetamol, and other prescribed medication in his father's garden shed. He was 39 years old.

Just googled and found this.................very sad:(

I think milestones are to be celebrated..I am dreading reaching the big 40..and Im sure I will cry ..coz Im leaving my 30s behind...As I see it..40 is the new 30!..(kidding myself?yep!)..
We all have an era that is important to us..for some..its the 60s..(in Eldricks case the 70s!)
80s are my era..The era of the Rubik cube..and thats still going!
