The Swiss artist and designer of Ridley Scott's Alien, H. R. Giger, has died aged 74, a spokesperson at Giger's museum in Gruyere has confirmed.
He died in hospital on Monday after he fell down stairs at his Zurich home.
Born in 1940, Giger was best known for his 'Xenomorph' alien in Scott's sci-fi horror masterpiece for which he won a visual effects Oscar in 1980.
He studied architecture and industrial design in Zurich and was known for creating strange dreamscapes.

He did the artwork for the 90s cult computer game darkseed. I got a unique, iirc, quiz questionabout him once.

Did the poster in the Dead Kennedy's Frankenchrist album, that resulted in an obscenity trial for the band - so fair play to him for that!
