Middlesborough - (RIP Mess): The star of TV hit show The Kumars at No. 42 has been found 'inexplicably dead' at home.
Ashok Kumar MP, 53, was - coincidentally - the same age as the number of episodes of the cult BBC show about a fictional British Indian family.
The Ides of March death is being probed by a police Omens & Portents division given the sudden and unexplained nature of the demise.
And in a curious House of Conmmons tribute Speaker John Bercow described Kumar as 'a very fine chemical engineer' - perhaps in reference to the extraordinary magnetism the deceased had exuded during the eponymous hit TV show's immensely successful run.
Show producer Sanilav Choudery is deeply shocked.
