    In a statement, Devon & Cornwall Police reported: "Police were notified at around 10.30pm yesterday [Monday] to reports of a concern of welfare for a man at a property in Rose Ash, South Molton. A man in his 40s was discovered deceased at the scene.

    That's terrible news. He always seemed to be a nice unassuming guy, and as a trainer he definitely punched above his weight. 40 is no age, and his family must be distraught.

    Unreal he has been taken so young.

    His family and his close friend Daryl Jacob must be totally gutted

    A terrible tragedy. I felt physically sick when I read this news today. Such a young man with his whole life ahead. God console his family at this time.

    What awful news, can't get the picture of him on TV after Beer Goggles' win out of my head - it's just tragic to think he has gone.

    Thoughts with all his family and friends, they must be absolutely devastated.

    The reports tonight paint a sad story.

    You never really know.
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Am in tears reading this; years ago he was interviewed about Dato Star; can't remember the question but the answer was 'because I love him'. Have adored the man ever since.

    He had a star on his hands with Waiting Patiently. So sad.

    So, so sad. RIP

    Imagine the scenes if Waiting Patiently and Beer Goggles both win on the Thursday
    Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."

    RIP Malcolm

    I've never met him but he always seemed like a real gentleman who really cared about his horses.

    Thoughts with his family and friends.
