How did actor Roderick Shaw die?

Answer 1

There are a few anomalies regarding the report of the death of a Darren Roderick Shaw that appeared in the local press in 2014.

Firstly, was his first name Darren? In all his billings it never mentioned Darren as his first name. Secondly, this Darren Roderick Shaw was reportedly thirty seven when he passed away, not thirty six and, thirdly, his occupation was given as an unemployed chef with no reference to his previous acting career at all.

This is strange. Are Darren Roderick Shaw and Roderick Shaw one and the same person?

Answer 2

There is no information available on the death of Roderick Shaw. He died in 1996 at the young age of 37, but no explanation is given. Typically in these cases, where no explanation is offered, suicide is possible but there is no way of knowing.

Answer 3

Roderick Shaw died from a mixture of cocaine and amphetamine. He suffered from epilepsy and had not been taking his medication for that. He did not take his own life. He left a young daughter behind.
