TRAGIC: Grange Hill star Terry Sue-Patt 'lay dead in his home up to a MONTH before his body was found

Grange Hill actor Terry Sue-Patt may have been dead for up to a month before his body was found, it emerged last night.

The former child star, who played Benny Green in the popular children's television series, was found by police who.....
forced their way into his home on Friday after a friend raised the alarm.

Mr Sue-Patt, 50, who had been battling a drink problem, was lying face down in bed in his flat in Walthamstow, East London.

Friend Lee MacDonald, 46, who played Zammo McGuire in Grange Hill, told the Sunday Mirror: 'It has been such a massive shock, I'm ­devastated.

'I just can't ­understand what happened. He had fallen off Facebook recently and I had begun to wonder if he was OK.

'I've heard that he'd been lying dead in his flat for a month before they found him.'

Mr Sue-Patt was the very first character to ever be seen on the show, as the first pupil at the fictional school to walk through the gates.

Sad! RIP Terry
