He was clearly dead

 (i)

They talked about
bashing the door in, but
they got a ladder and began to climb up
onto the balcony, looked
in through the window

And they saw
        he was clearly dead

In front of his television
        on his sofa

It's what he would have wanted
        to die privately

To die watching the television

(ii)

20 years later, I went for a haircut
at a quiet place I found
        on a long walk after work

The ageing barber, trying to make
conversation (I don't encourage it)
said Oh yes, I've had some big names in here

They used to come down from
        the Television Centre

{long pause} 

Benny Hill

    I used to cut his hair

        lovely gentleman

            course...

                 he hasn't been in for a long time
