Oscar winner David Seidler, best known for 'The King's Speech,' dead at 87

Award-winning writer David Seidler passed away on Saturday, while he was fly-fishing in New Zealand. No cause of death was given, but it doesn't appear that he suffered some sort of accident related to the hobby.

Seidler wrote the stage and screen versions of The King's Speech, which would go on to win Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor practically sweeping the 2011 Oscar Awards.

Seidler's manager, Jeff Aghassi issued a statement to Deadline saying, "David was in the place he loved most in the world – New Zealand – doing what gave him the greatest peace which was fly-fishing. If given the chance, it is exactly as he would have scripted it."

The King's Speech depicted King George VI's journey to overcome his speech impediment as he ascended to the throne.

Seidler was inspired to write the award-winning story because of his own speech impediment, and during his acceptance speech stated that his story was for "all the stutterers throughout the world, we have a voice, we have been heard, thanks to you the Academy."

While Seidler may be gone, his amazing story will live on and continue to inspire those who struggle with speaking, especially in public circumstances.
