He died at his home in the Cayman Islands.

Here is the CBC News report

Does anyone here read the Dick Francis novels? I'm a big fan, it's a part of my life since childhood to get a new Dick Francis novel at Christmas.

There's one more novel written by him with his son Felix due out this autumn.

I'm going to miss him

Man, he didn't have a chance in grade-school did he?

RIP, Mr. Francis.

Being British and going to school in the 1930s, that wasn't actually a problem when he was at school.
