Matt Lucas' Ex-Husband Found Dead
The ex-husband of Matt Lucas, the co-brains of Little Britain, was found dead in his home yesterday morning. The Telegraph reports that Kevin McGee hanged himself after writing this suicide note on his Facebook account: “Kevin McGee thinks death is much better than life.”
Matt and Kevin were married in 2006, but they divorced last year. Some say that Matt just couldn't take Kevin's constant drug use.
Friends of Matt say he's "completely destroyed" and it doesn't help that he's currently starring in Prick Up Your Years in the West End. Anybody who has seen the movie or play knows it's about tragic gay sadness. Sad.

Yeah... but no.. but yeah but no but..this gives me the sads in a big way. Love me some Matt and Little Britain.

This is just really sad.
They are just so young.
My condolences.
Matt is Andy, the wheelchair guy. He's also Dffyd(I can't spell Welsh) the only gay in the village!
And Marjory Dawes, the chubby woman who runs the Fat Fighters.
I heart both of the guys, they are really funny but the Little Britain in America bombed.
And those of you talking about fags, just stuff it. You don't even know who we are talking about so shut up, TROWZZZER. Since it appears that you keep your brain there, we especially don't need to hear from you!

I'm not really that smart, it's just that everyone else is so damn stupid!
You haven't really laughed until you've guffawed at a Little Britain skit. Matt is Bubbles Devere, Vicky Pollard, Andy (wheelchair guy -or is he Lou)....anyone? Anyone? NO? Anyway this is very sad.
Horrible. Lucas seems like such a low-key, unassuming sort of person - I'm so sorry he's had such tragedy in his life. I don't see how he can continue in "Prick Up Your Ears" - definitely too close to home. So awful.
I have no idea who either one of them are.

I don't get it. So a fag killed himself over another fag? Who the fuck are these people?
Yeah, who cares about a fag killing himself, one less, right? (rolls eyes)

The one that looks like an evil Bay City Roller is dead and the one that looks like a buttock with a face drawn on it is sad.
Not really, no. Anyway it gets him out of that play which, going by the reviews I read, he wasn't exactly shining in.

===========================
are you serious ? that's fucked up.
I for one, don't.
Don't try and tell me he's pulled out of that play because of this. This is what we all want to happen to our ex's, that they'll decide they can't live without us and 86 themselves.
I was just about to watch that for a dose of Gary Oldman hotness.
They married and divorced rather quickly. It seemed like Lucas was over it before it even started. How sad.
All I'm talking about, are the people who violently kill themselves at home, (slit their wrists in the bathtub, gun in the mouth, brains on the wall) KNOWING that the Mr./Mrs./Mom/Dad are going to be home from work and find them in that state. I'm sorry, but to me, there's a message there, more than goodbye cruel world.
Not talking about those who take pills, or die accidentally of heart attacks at home.

Tru dat. I used to fear going out on errands, afraid I'd come home to find The Banshe dead on the sofa. As it turned out, holding his hand as his heart gave out in an ICU was tough enough.

As soon as I saw the headline, I knew some sort of substance abuse had to be behind Matt's divorcing Kevin. My heart goes out to him, and I pray Kevin's soul is at peace now.

sorry, they weren't married, they lived in a civil partnership....
nothing you said made any sense to me, whatsoever.
there were easier ways for him to get out of waking up and seeing that face everyday.
Hmmm... don't know about that. I would have to read up on that notion. Far as I know once a person decides to end it, they're not even in a correct mind frame. Lord knows what they're thinking then. What feels like a big "fck you" might not be. Death is gruesome no matter what. Even finding someone who dies accidentally at home is overwhelming.
RIP to this poor guy though. It gets rough sometimes, but its such a shame that some of us give up on ourselves like that.

Really too bad. People who off themselves violently at home like that (hanging, gun, etc) for their loved ones to find them, leave one last great big FUCK YOU to those they leave behind. Heartless.

I'm sorry for Matt's loss, especially how it took place. But he could look at it on the bright side, there's one less gay in the village.
You so ugly, you look like you got superpowers
Very sad. Very disturbing.
Sadness.Just read about their wonderful wedding; they were meant to be, not like this.

IMHO, he may have posted on Facebook as a (more effective?) cry for help. Apparently he killed himself 3 hours after he posted so I can't help but wonder if he was waiting to see if anyone would intervene.

You are so right about the people who have to find the body.

Who knows...?
@ tomahawk: Just wow about that British woman's 9th suicide attempt! Yeah, some of these people are crying out for attention more than really wanting it all to end. That lady couldn't have tried too hard the first 8 times. I feel bad for the docs that shrugged their shoulders and complied with her wish.
As for Facebooking your exit, I guess that's the new-tech way to go.
Aw...Poor Matt. He must be distraught.

I want to be sympathetic but I'm so not in the mood. And leaving your suicide note on fucking Facebook is just tacky.
Posting your suicide note on Facebook is tacking. Referring to yourself in the third person in said suicide note is beyond tacky.

Ugh, a social networking suicide note... Narcissism and histrionic behavior that extends beyond life. I guess he wasn't getting the validation he was looking for.

I was posting my comment before I saw yours. You said it exactly yucko!
Maybe someone didn't accept his friend request or something.
I've noticed on my facebook that the ones with the most friends update their status the most often, and oftentimes complain that they are lonely, bored and fed up with life. Weird.
I don't blame him one bit.

Why can't Jon and Kate do themselves in?
I know some people like writing up-to-the-minute accounts of their personal life on Facebook, but facebooking before you commit suicide is just bizarre!!
I have no clue who these two are, so I don't even know which one is which in the picture. Anyone?

Anyway, aside from leaving the most attention-seeking kind of suicide note possible, it's unfortunate that he killed himself and sad for his former partner.
albatross - suicide is not that easy. what else should one do? i read the story of an elderly woman who hanged herself on a train bridge - for everyone to see. even kids? i know a couple of people who have killed themselves. one jumped in the middle of the day from a building on a main street after she wasn't "strong" enough to cut her wrists, i bet enough people have nightmares from it - and even i, though i didn't witness, think about it when i drive past the building. it's been maybe 12 years.
on another note - last week a british woman drank some fluid (her 9th suicide attempt) and walked to the hospital, clutching a note on which she demands to let her die. the docs did so. is that the right way to take one's life? suicides always suck, no matter who will find the body.

Right?! I always get so pissed when someone jumps in front of the 5pm train so that a million peeps are 2 hours late getting home after a long day's work.
But not all suicides are giant fuck you's. I tried to off myself and made damn sure in my suicide note to let my loved ones know that I was so sorry about how my actions would hurt them, even my ex-husband. I really did care about how this would affect them. It's just sometimes life is too much to bear anymore and you feel like there's no other way out.
Add that to the list of things that ruin "social networking". So sad. RIP
sorry, they weren't married, they lived in a civil partnership.
nothing against you gays (otherwise i wouldn't stick around), and particulary nothing against lucas or mcgee, but you US-gays have pushed the limit (especially perez hilton) - that made me a little sensitive on this topic. maybe because the main argument is that gay "marriage" is legal in "all european countries" it's not - no offence.

ohh. how nice. :(
Hubby and I joke about it (we're morbid), but I always tell him, hun, if that's your last resort, don't leave a bloody corpse for me to find when I get home from work. 'kay ? At least a dog has the decency to slink off to the woods when it's time to die.

That's exactly what my cousin did. He hanged himself right outside the room where his wife was, so he'd be the first thing she'd see when she walked out.

I agree. It's bad enough to kill yourself, but to do it so a loved one finds you is the worst. And no one can tell me that the suicides are so despondent that they don't realize this ahead of time. People plan their suicides very carefully. I believe they do it for maximum fuck-you value sometimes.
Rest in peace.
