DAVID SOUL HAS died aged 80, his wife Helen Snell has announced.

The US-born actor, best known for his role as Detective Kenneth “Hutch” Hutchinson in the classic crime-solving series Starsky & Hutch, died yesterday surrounded by his family.

Snell said in a statement: “David Soul – beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother – died yesterday after a valiant battle for life in the loving company of family.

“He shared many extraordinary gifts in the world as actor, singer, storyteller, creative artist and dear friend. His smile, laughter and passion for life will be remembered by the many whose lives he has touched.”

    2 kayaks capsized and 24 people jumped in to save them. It all went pear shaped.

    Either way top job by the rescue personnel that’s a messy one to deal with.

    I’m guessing they might have been dragon boats or something similar instead?
