He had a really bad quad bike accident a couple of years back, i think his death may have been related to that....56 is too young...

How can Rik be dead when we still have his poems?
Where you come from is gone.
Where you thought you were going to, weren't never there.
And where you are ain't no good, unless you can get away from it.
