The comedian Ian Cognito died on stage of a suspected heart attack on Thursday evening. A few minutes earlier he had been joking about dying on stage. He became breathlessness, sat down and became still. People were laughing as they thought it was all part of the act. When they realised something was wrong two off-duty A&E nurses applied CPR. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.
RIP Ian - you left us too soon!
