Repost from Paul Raven's brother
--
Body:
I apologise for the impersonal nature of this email, but I have the  
information
regarding the death of my beloved brother, Paul Vincent Raven.

First of all, after many days, the French authorities have performed  
an autopsy and informed me and those loved ones of Paul's that have  
been alongside me in France, that he died of natural causes. I wish  
this were not the only piece of 'good' news to have been received on  
this awful day.

Due to much confusion and a set of circumstances too complicated to  
lay down here, we find we are unable to repatriate Paul..s body to  
his native England in the way we would have wished, and still retain  
his dignity. A cremation and a service in Paul..s memory will be held  
in the city of Annecy in SE France in the early part of next week. I  
cannot, at this stage, be more specific. The nearest airport to  
Annecy, by some margin, is Geneva. Further services, gatherings and  
remembrances will occur elsewhere in Paul..s world at a later date.
More information will come your way as we discover it. (times, dates,  
hotel numbers, etc.)

Please forward this email or the limited information it contains, to  
those friends of your..s and Paul..s who you think will need it.

I write this in the presence of Paul..s partner, Melinda, her sisters  
Melissa and Jennifer and Mr. Marco Neves. These are people without  
whom I could not have made it through this dreadful week. I love them  
very much and would like to thank them for everything they have done  
at this time.

My family and I would also like to thank the many people who have  
helped and supported us - in particular Miss Lois Davidson, Mr. Jase  
Burns, Mr. Matt Luxon and Miss Angie Jorgensen.

We will not forget.
