After the loss of his beloved brother, David, who died in 1991 of a suspected drug overdose, Ruffin was prompted to become a vocal anti-drug advocate, a role which he continued throughout his life.

16 I can see why a Bee Gees link was suggested here but I think they went from Isle of Man to Australia via chorlton (Manchester) not Chelsea

FF Born in Douglas (IOM) moved to Brisbane died in Chelsea.
Known as 5,4 but the answer also requires his middle name "Hugh"

Thanks. I see it now. Didn't read the via properly

[Maisie Doats]

Hi fiction- factory. Didn’t the person in question die at a hospital in Chelsea ?

[Maisie Doats]

Sorry fiction- factory. If I’d have looked further down the list I would have seen that jj109 had already explained.
