Comedian Matt Lucas and his former partner Kevin McGee

Kevin McGee, television producer and former civil partner of Little Britain star Matt Lucas was found dead of apparent suicide last night at home. From the BBC:

McGee, 32, was found hanged at his Edinburgh flat after police broke in on Monday, the Sun newspaper has reported.

The television producer had updated his Facebook status to "Kevin McGee thinks death is better than life," just hours before, the paper said.

The former couple met before the major television success of BBC comedy series Little Britain.

They wed in a lavish pantomime-themed ceremony in December 2006 but Lucas was granted a dissolution in October 2008 on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour by his partner.

Our condolences to Matt and to Kevin's family.
