I knew he wasn't a well man, sad loss. For those who want to read more about this and then post a tribute,

And Best (60's footballer) was the man who drank himself to death. A great sportsman in his day, but enjoyed a champange lifestyle and ruined his health by drinking too much. Best was given a second chance in life and helped to ruin that as well, although the damage was done, so even if he hadn't hit the bottle again, Best wouldn't have lived much longer.

Burns was another great sportsman and shouldn't have been ill.. Sadly it wasn't to be.. Very sad day for rally fans. Sad loss. I've still got a Subaru WRC to build with his name on it, I'll still build it to remember him.
