‘Thank you for all those beautiful happy times. I shall be forever in your debt. You teach me everyday to be a better person. Love you today, tomorrow and always. All my love your devoted Mama. XxX.’ (sic)

Happier times: The So Awkward star shared a close bond with his parents, who have been married for 21 years

In January, the mother-of-one revealed Archie had died after an intracerebral haemorrhage caused by acute lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukaemia – an incredibly rare condition which kills just 800 people a year. 

Lucy and the Only Fools and Horses actor, 59, found out the ‘harrowing’ details from his second post mortem just four days before Christmas, months after an inquest into his ‘unexplained’ death had been abandoned.

The teenager, who had been acting since the age of 11, starred in the hit CBBC show So Awkward as Ollie Coulton and was dating co-star Nethra Tilakumara. 

Devastated: In January, the mother-of-one revealed Archie had died after an intracerebral haemorrhage caused by acute lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukaemia 

Lucy wrote on her social media platform at the time: ‘He died from an Intracerebral Haemorrhage caused by Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma/Leukaemia. 

‘This is not Leukaemia as we know it, the word Acute in medical terms means rapid. He assured us that there wasn’t anything anyone could have done as Archie showed no signs of illness.

‘Archie had numerous bleeds on the brain and the Dr went to great lengths to reassure us that he wouldn’t have been in any pain as it happened in his sleep.’

Sir David Jason has reportedly caring for his on-screen brother Nicholas since Archie’s passing. 

Inquests: What are they and why are they held?

An inquest is an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding a death where the cause is still unknown, or if the person died a violent or unnatural death, or in prison or police custody.

The purpose of the hearing is to find out who the deceased person was and how, when and where they died.  

Coroners can reach one of a set list of conclusions, or return a ‘narrative conclusion’ if none of the categories are appropriate. Among the mots common conclusions are:

Accidental death

Misadventure

Suicide 

Natural causes

Unlawful killing

The coroner can also make recommendations designed to prevent similar deaths occurring in future.

Some inquests require a jury, for instance after an unnatural death in custody or in relation to health and safety at work.   

Deaths due to natural causes and most illnesses do not require an inquest to be held.

According to The Sun, the iconic screen star, 80, has been spending time with his former co-star, whom he acted alongside in the classic sitcom from 1981 to 2003.

A source said last year: ‘Despite no longer being on screen together, David and Nick remain very close. So, as soon as David became aware of what had happened to Archie, he was in touch with Nick.

‘He’s been in regular touch ever since and – like everyone else who cares for Nick and his family – is just trying to provide whatever support he can. Nick’s heart is broken, and David is doing all he can to support him.’

 MailOnline contacted representatives for Sir David and Nicholas at the time of publication.
