Just found out the sad news that James is no longer with us.
Got a reply to his email with the bad from one of his brothers in Manchester.
We saw a lot of him socially around 2008/9 before he left Manchester for London and liked him a great deal.
Could anyone please tell me what happened, where his funeral took place, did his estranged family find out in time and is there a grave to visit and pay our last respects? 
Sorry to drag up sad memories but don't want to hassle his family as they are still understandably very upset.
Thanks,
Richard.
