British actor, Mike Hunt, 31, and his famous pussy, Boots, were killed, Friday night while asleep. Fire fighters believe methane gas collected under their bed sheets and ignited, apparently as a result of Mike Hunt smoking in bed.
The actor was recently nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor in an Unremarkable British Costume Drama. Cinema insiders believe Mike Hunt will win posthumously, as did American actor, Keith Ledger, who won for his portrayal of the Joker in the latest installment of the Batman movie franchise.
Boots, a stray pussy rescued by Mike Hunt during a film shoot in Majorca, was known to sleep under the covers with Mike Hunt. The body of the homosexual tomcat has not been recovered.
"The movie industry is in shock over the loss of Mike Hunt," said some wanker of whom nobody has ever heard.
"We shall all miss Mike Hunt," said Dame Edna.
Even the Queen mourned the loss of the actor. "Mike Hunt was the very best there ever was," she said through representatives.
Services are scheduled for Tuesday at the Chapel of British Actors Whose Work Is Better off Forgotten. Interment in one of Sir Elton John's unused toupees will immediately follow the funeral service.
