On Monday 9 June, we were so sad to bring you the news that comedian Rik Mayall had passed away, aged 56.
The star of Drop Dead Fred, Bottom and Blackadder was found dead at his London home on Monday morning, and it was thought that he'd died from a seizure.
But Rik's wife Barbara has now confirmed that an acute cardiac event killed him.
"We now know that our darling Rik suffered an 'acute cardiac event' at our home around midday on June 9th," she wrote.
"He had just returned from his usual run and many people had seen him that morning."
The late actor's wife also thanked fans for their support following his death, and for the positive coverage of his career.
"I, Rosie, Sid, Bonnie [Rik and Barbara's children] and the many in our extended family who have received the thousands and thousands of messages of condolence from all over the UK and beyond these shores would like to say thank-you to each and every one of you for your heartfelt love and support.
"I would also like to thank the press for their discretion at this time and for all the wonderful coverage that you have given Rik. It would have made him very happy.
"We always knew that Rik was well loved but we are all overwhelmed by so many joining us in our grief."
She ended the statement in a way her husband would have been proud of.
"I am sure that you all know Rik's response would be something along the lines of... 'well thanks very much all of you… now F**K OFF!!!!'"
