Unfortunately I watched this before the warning was added and I'm sorry I did.  It's in very poor taste IMHO.

My fault for watching it - the caption 'Tommy Cooper death' was a bit of a clue, if I'd taken the time to read it!  And yes, I believe it should be taken off YouTube, although I gather it's been there quite a while already.

Oh my God. I didn't read the bit at the top and thought it was going to be a bit fruity. I wasn't expecting a man dying so graphically in full view of the camera. i have never seen it before. It should be taken off You Tube. It is not respectful to Cooper, his family and anyone else upset by it.

i remember watching this live back in the 80's. i remember the confusion in our house when it cut to commercial... we all thought it was part of some wacky joke. it's sad.

The press had a go at youtube when the first clip went online (according to wikipedia). Thanks for putting the warning on 623, wouldn't want more people seeing it without realizing what it is.
As for the discussion point. Many comedians have a lighthearted view on death so it seems unlikely that Tommy himself would have an issue with the clip. I do think YouTube should pull such clips though as they're likely cause great offense to friends and relatives though - unless they can somehow get all their permission.....(should I quote Google - 'do no harm')....

So, what next?  Shall we start linking to footage of US soldiers/civilians getting beheaded?  This thread just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, sorry.

there is some irony there that even as he was dying he had people laughing at him, albeit unintentional. he was a seriously talented guy - i was an enormous tommy fan as a kid.

the extended clip has now been removed from youtube... oddly enough, the shorter version remains.
