Former EastEnders actor Mike Reid has died at the age of 67 after suffering a suspected heart attack.The actor, who played Frank Butcher in the BBC soap, was living in Spain at the time of his death. Reid became a stand-up comedian having worked as a stunt man. He went on to work in TV shows including Runaround, Doctor Who and Minder.
His agent David Hahn told the BBC his death came as a great shock as he had been in very good health. He said: "Mike was in fine fettle. In fact only a couple of weeks ago we were having dinner over here.
"Mike that particular day went to see his consultant and had a full medical - and they gave him a clean bill of health."

| I do remember him in Doctor Who in the Mask of Mandragora.A clean bill of health doesn't necessarily mean the person is healthy. Don't underestimate the human body. It could hide things the doctors can and in this case did miss. |
