    RIP Dale Winton. :( He was a great game show host and seemed a pretty decent chap. Bit too much fake tan at times!

    The cause of his death has not been released. Very few people in the West die of AIDS since the availability of effective medications to treat HIV since the late 1990s. The idea that a gay man dying relatively young must have had AIDS belongs to the bigoted 1980s and more tolerant but still pretty ignorant 90s.
    Thank you!
    Has original sin been banned or just his messages blocked?

    A diabetes site I subscribe to is saying he's been ill with complications due to his diabetes.

    This forum is the only place I've read relating his death to AIDS.
