I just heard through from someone in the know that Jason Richards passed away after his battle with cancer... Been trying to find this on the internet... anyone else confirm?

Edit... just checked his FB page and it's true... he will be sorely missed :(

Hope this isn't true, don't use facebook so don't know.

This appears to say it isn't although no sources to confirm. Also found a few other Jason Richards to have died lately so hopefully its confusion.

Check out his FB page, apparently he had a stroke last night.

Probably best now to wait till someone makes an official statement I guess... Hope he's not dead! If he's not hope whoever has been writing those articles is shot.

Very sad, RIP Jason.

But what a fighter on the track and off, a real inspiration in the way he handled himself over the final part of his journey.

Too young to have moved on..... :(

It's been a hard year for all of us in the Industry of motorsport. Let's hope next year goes better.
