Alistair Hulett
Sadly, we share with you the news that Alistair Hulett died on the evening of January 28, 2010. Many friends who have been shocked by the severity and speed of his deterioration have asked for details of his illness. Alistair became ill very suddenly on New Year's Day 2010 and was hospitalised on January 5 with suspected food poisoning. Liver failure was later diagnosed and it was hoped that he could receive a liver transplant, but further investigation revealed a very aggressive form of cancer which had already spread from his liver to his lungs and stomach. Alistair died peacefully only days after the cancer was first detected.
