Cooper - theatre star's tragic death

Mark Cooper was just 39 when he died half way through a week of performances.

The talented actor and star of the amateur production of Guys and Dolls had a heart attack after giving his all toa professional theatre audience.

I was taking part in the production and, despite the difficulty for his friends, I was able to produce a fitting tribute to the star and to let people know that the show would go on in his honour.
