It is Cult Faction’s sad duty to announce that David Collings has passed away at the age of 79 years old. The sad news was broken by his wife Karen Archer on twitter:
I don’t if this is the right time, maybe no such thing anymore, but I feel I should share the news, for those who knew him, that our dear David Collings, actor, husband, father, died suddenly in the early hours of this morning. Perhaps we can celebrate him properly next year …
