Not a bad way to end life by making people laugh! What a guy! An amazing man, there will only be one Tommy Cooper. Sadly missed but still enjoyed by the magic of TV and the internet!

@bigclockface You hit the nail on the head,very much so,thank god for TV & internet indeed.

It must've been so nice to die hearing your audience laugh and applaud you.

...even though later they were probably like "Whoa...did we really just laugh and applaud someone dying?"

[MrMichaelpaul45]

@Ticklytinker Hum, my be so fella,my be so.

He died doing something he loved. I hope we're all lucky enough to experience the same feeling. R.I.P.

Although I really enjoyed Tommy Cooper's comedy, I would have prefered it if he had hung his fez up back in 1977 after his first heart attack. One would have liked him to have had a few years healthy retirement and that would have made up for his absence on the screens. We lost too many people in 1984, Cooper, Morecambe, Rossiter and many others.
