1. I really enjoyed his work

Little Britain was hillarious, if teetering on the edge of PC. He wasn't all that old. Cause of death apparently effects of pneumonia.

2. He was great in Repo! The Genetic Opera.

I still listen to that soundtrack every so often and his songs are real standouts. It's been ages since I watched that movie, maybe I'll watch it again this weekend and crack open a beer in his memory.
