His family have tweeted: "You may already know, my Dad died peacefully this morning of natural causes. he was 58.

"Before he died, he asked us to tweet: 'Goodbye world the time has come, I had some fun'.

"Thank you for your support over the years. We would appreciate some privacy at this difficult time. Love, Jane, Lauren and Beth."

A message sent from the Twitter account of Mr Nicklinson's daughter Beth said: "RIP @TonyNicklinson. Couldn't have asked for a better dad, so strong. You are now at peace, we will be fine. I love you xxx"

Sad news indeed. Seems suspicious though. Died of natural causes but has enough time to compose a tweet? I don't think this is over yet. RIP Tony.

Very sad news, and thoughts are with his family.

dr_octagon - Understand your reaction, but news reports so far say that he died of pneumonia after refusing food since the court decision. He hadn't tweeted since the 16th August (the day of the court decision). I think the recent tweets were all made by his daughter.
