Teletubbies star, 53, froze to death in the street 'where he was sleeping rough' after sinking into alcoholism
2018-04-06
[DailyMail] Teletubbies star Simon Barnes died aged just 53 after descending into alcoholism, an inquest heard yesterday.

The actor, who played Tinky Winky from 1998 to 2001, died of hypothermia and had a high level of alcohol in his blood, tests revealed.

His body was found in January in a side street near the waterfront in Liverpool where he was understood to have been living rough.
