I think he was killed. The morning he died, drop dead fred happens to be broadcast on TV. There was a final film he done about 9/11 taking about "conspiracy theories", he was also very vocal against the BBC and may have had information on high ranking individuals he was going to go forward with about during Operation Yewtree, he was not complicit but he was very aware and afraid to speak out until the Savile Crimes went public. His role of Alan B'stard actually indirectly contributed to the toppling of Thatcher. Just my opinion of course
