I'm glad this has been mentioned here as well, as it was beginning to seem that only us Babylon 5 fans cared. It doesn't seem to have made any news anywhere, and I know the newspapers here in the UK won't be printing any obits.

Rick Biggs was a great guy, really funny and friendly, and it's a hell of a shame, especially since he had such a young family. He was way too young to die.
