Sheridan passed away this morning, as reported by the BBC, following a “short illness.” The BBC Scotland also announced on social media.

First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf led tributes to Sheridan as he began his weekly questions in the Scottish Parliament chamber, describing him as a ‘extremely talented journalist and author’.

Journalist Robbie Armstrong posted a photo of Mr. Sheridan sitting on a seawall with running gear on and said his friend had been ‘taken far too early from a world you gave your absolute everything to’.

It develops when the walls of an artery in your brain become thin and weak. They usually form at branching points of arteries. Sometimes, one can be born with a brain aneurysm. This is typically due to an abnormality (birth defect) in an artery wall.
