I posted the news in the GBR appreciation thread, but I think Mitch deserves his own thread in memoriam. At his age he probably died from cancer-related complications.
Anyway, I haven't seen any kind of official press release about Mitch's passing, but there's this Facebook post with the news:
Colleagues will be saddened to hear that former student and lecturer, Mitch Fenner, has passed away.
Mitch was a true professional as a teacher, coach, lecturer and of course as the voice of gymnastics on the BBC.
We have lost a great colleague and friend and our thoughts love and prayers are with Sandra and all his family at this sad time.
God Bless!

Obviously he's a gymnastics legend for his commentary with BBC. Plus he was a long time coach where recently he had become the head coach of the Dutch men's team. A shame he's gone and won't be able to see the first Dutch men's team in Rio.
RIP Mitch.
