] Biggs, who played Dr. Stephen Franklin on the 1994-98
] series and in three subsequent TV movies, died Saturday,
] his Website said. He was 44.

] In a message posted to a Babylon 5 newsgroup Saturday,
] show creator J. Michael Straczynski said paramedics who
] treated Biggs suggested the cause of death was "either an
] aneurysm or a massive stroke."

] "What seems to have happened, happened quickly,"
] Straczynski wrote. "He woke up, got up out of bed...and
] went down." I was very sad to get this news. I knew Biggs from conventions where we'd both been speakers. We weren't close or anything, but we'd sit together on the same dais, and share a nodding recognition. His death surprises me -- he was in great shape, very together, seemingly very centered and focused. He looked like the kind of guy who would look exactly the same 50 years from now. His death at such a young age shocks and saddens me. :/ Carpe diem. Babylon 5 Star Dies |
