snoop1130 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Gary Rhodes ‘slipped and hit his head in shower’ – after telling pal ‘life couldn’t be better’ By Thomas Burrows TV chef Gary Rhodes, who was known for his spiky hair, has died aged 59 / Credit: Rex Features CELEB chef Gary Rhodes tragically slipped and hit his head before he died, according to a close friend who was one of the last people to see him alive. The spiky-haired chef, who was best know for shows such as Rhodes Around Britain, Masterchef and Hell's Kitchen, was surrounded by family when he died, aged 59, at his home in Dubai on Tuesday night. The dad-of-two, who moved to the UAE in 2007, was working on the day he died and his death is said to have come as a complete shock. Fellow chef Vineet Bhatia, who was filming with Gary Rhodes last week in Dubai, said Rhodes was fit and healthy and his last words to him were "life couldn't be better".

BritManToo Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) I know two guys who slipped in the shower and died in Chiang Mai. Always thought it was like the 'Pattaya flying club' and involved dodgy persons in your room. Didn't realise he was so old.

CharlieH Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Tragic waste of life of a talented man appreciated and admired by many for his abilities and achievements. A silly accident that can happen so easily, tragic accident. RIP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torturedsole Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) I also read today that Gary was involved in an RTA in AMS in his teens and underwent an eight hour operation on his brain injury. The latest fall may well have been the straw that broke the camel's back. RIP, Gary. Edited November 28, 2019 by torturedsole 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fell and broke my arm in 2006 (shattered elbow, broken shoulder) with nobody else in the room. If I'd fallen slightly differently, it would have been the back of my head and I wouldn't be here now. Polished stone floors look great, but wet feet coming out of a bath or shower can make them treacherous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cheshiremusicman Posted November 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2019 I always loved watching him cook on his TV series. He had such an infectious enthusiasm for his cooking. Very sad end to a lovely man who will be missed by many. RIP Gary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why it is wise to either have a non slip coating applied ( does not ruin the look) or purchase non slip tiles. Have polished stone floors and have them treated every two years, Necessary especially in wet areas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be helped by buying slip resistant stickers for tub or shower floor or in my case I had slip resistant tiles installed in my bathroom after slipping and almost falling. Outside the bathroom I have a square piece of rug to dry my feet before walking on the tiles in the bedroom.

scubascuba3 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 News channels like the BBC are always secretive about how someone dies, which is what we want to know. Nothing in the news yesterday, finally it comes out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much the same with me , a black mat in the shower space that can only be peeted off the floor and a towel on the floof by the step out of the room as the bedroom are not no slip tiles. Sure most accidents in homes are caused by slippery floors. Or poor electrics . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have worked with the BBC and the contempt in which the execs hold their audience is astonishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
