Hi Terry and all.
 I was looking round the internet, when i found a piece about Rod De'ath.

 At some point after leaving "Ramrod" he went to the states and married, had a child too.
He returned to the U.K, and sometime apparently had an accident and lost an eye, and suffered brain damage too, he eventually woke from a coma, to find his wife by his bedside, but to ad to his pain , whilst he was ill, his New york apartment had been trashed and looted.
 

He attended Rory's memorial service, then seemed to vanish again, only for a relative of Rod's to post that Rod had made contact with some of his family(Rod's) in Saundersfoot , south wales, this was august 2008, it was last known that Rod was living back in london, but his address is still unknown.
