Comedian Tony Knight was killed after a large tree branch fell from a tree on a windless day at a festival in southern France, according to relatives.
“He was only 54 and having the time of his life,” Joanne Allen, the sister of Mr. Knight’s partner, wrote in a Go-Fund-Me page set up on July 1. “He was fit, healthy, happy and had everything going for him. He was charismatic, funny, passionate and so very loved by [his partner] Hayley, his family and his friends all over the world.”
