Could his health problems have been the reason he left and never returned to Angel? He was still a young man.

That's awful! Doyle was my one of my favourites on Angel... And Glenn was such an amazing actor, and from what I heard and amazing person too... Is there any news on how he died? This is terrible... I hope he didn't had any pain. He was far too young to die...

i hadn't heard that. wow... just yesterday (the day after he died) i was contemplating whether they could/would bring him back. :( i miss doyle and i'll miss glenn quinn.

damn. I still haven't seen the early Angel episodes. Glenn Quinn's Doyle, for me, has been something of a mythological character from whose forehead sprang the rest of the cast fully formed. Athena-like.

And to think the day before his death, there was a post telling us everything "everything you ever wanted to know about the death of Doyle.".

I know. I came upon that "death of Doyle" page while I was looking for stuff about how Max Perlich's Whistler inspired Glenn Quinn's Doyle. I had absolutely no idea that Glenn Quinn had passed away.

Mortality sucks.

Damn. He was a great actor and played a very memorable character.

I'm the webmaster at glenn-quinn.com. Believe me, when I first heard, I was sceptical as well, but I spoke on the telephone with Mark Anthony Galluzzo, who directed Glenn in "R.S.V.P." this morning, and have since gotten several emails from Glenn's friends and extended family.

I'll be sending a floral arrangement on behalf of his fans to the services, and if the family starts any kind of charity fund or such for donations, I'll be sure and keep you all up to date.

I only knew Glenn through his work, and was incredibly saddened to learn the news. He will most definitely be missed.

I read "heartattack in his sleep" somewhere, but there was no verification in the post.
