You hear of people who get lung cancer who never smoke
Roy Castle apparently never smoked. But because of his time spent in working men's clubs he developed passive smoking which resulted in lung cancerQuote:

The cross-party comments on twitter etc are quite heart warming really. He seems to have been widely respected and considered a kind person. Leaves behind a wife and kids.
