So awful – RIP Alex 🙁

Terrible news, condolences to family and friends.

RIP Alex

Bike thieves. I hate them. 🙁

That’s tragic news and I can’t imagine how his family and friends are feeling right now. Condolences to them.

I never know what to say in such circumstancing, so perhaps I’ll just add my name to the list of those giving condolences and thinking of loved ones and friends.

Crikey. Poor chap. Thoughts to his loved ones.

Really sad that – condolences to his nearest and dearest.

What a terrible thing to happen to someone out enjoying their hobby.
Without wanting to make assumptions, I’ll second the above comments about carbon monoxide.
A lot of us use our vehicles for improvised camping & cooking facilities.
Lack of ventilation in a non-purpose built vehicle is a very real risk.

Very sad , R.I.P Alex .

Same thing happened recently here in East Lothian with a motorcyclist. 🙁

thats terrible, thoughts go out to his family

Slightly OT but its not something that you think about yet its something that is a definite danger. A few weeks ago we had a camp stove in the outer part of the tent to keep us warm. Maybe a reminder/PSA wouldn’t go amiss or a mag article on the subject???

What a waste of a young man’s life.

Someone I knew at Uni also passed away in their sleep due to CM poisoning.

Tis not good.

RIP

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, it could be other causes, but it does sound likely. Got a detector in my campervan (and room sealed heating)

Heard of a family that had a near miss after moving a disposable bbq into their caravan awning so the embers would keep them warm. Luckily someone phoned them and dialled 999 after realising they weren’t really with it.

Very Sad very Tragic, heart goes out to Fiancee, family & friends, Vans need CM warning devices or something more awareness needed.

Getting a bit ahead of ourselves with all the speculation here. Someone was found dead in their van. That much we know. Condolences.

Only 28, so young.
RIP.

Very sad.

Echo not jumping to conclusions. It could well have been down to something else (rare heart condition, for example).

RIP. Condolences to all who knew him. Sad and tragic.

Awful news, thoughts with family and close friends at this most awful time

sad news RIP

Very sad. RIP.

I didn’t really want to post personal details but to end the speculation, it wasn’t CM poisoning, he had an underlying heart condition.

RIP. 🙁

Really amazing how much the community comes together when something like this happens really warms the heart
thanks crazy legs for clearing the air as far as the cause goes

was a really great person an a hell of a rider,was currentley in talks with him about a future buisness deal only a few days ago so so sad,thoughts are with everyone he met as he was one of the nice ones.

Very sad news for his family and buddies. Handsome chap! RIP.

Also very sad to hear this. Difficult to accept that someone young and healthy can just drop down dead 🙁

Still worth saying though – it can be dangerous sleeping in unventilated vans. Year before last, I remember a club-level motorsports guy last year had put a spent disposable bbq in his van before turning in – thankfully he was woken up by someone else in the paddock and found unconscious but alive. The bbq was still barely smouldering but enough to cause dangerous levels of CO. A motorcycle racer died of the same a few months later. Anyone who kips in a van for rides or races, remember to keep anything that burns outside unless it is completely, 100% extinguished.

sad news. RIP

That sucks the big time!

RIP!

Stand down fella. 😐

I’m in shock. Alex was a regular customer of ours (Bike Bristol)

Gutted :(….RIP Alex)

I didn’t know him, but that’s very sad. Rest in peace Alex.
