David Seidler, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of `The King`s Speech`, died Saturday while on a fly-fishing expedition in New Zealand. He was 86, reported Variety.

"David was in the place he loved most in the world -- New Zealand -- doing what gave him the greatest peace which was fly-fishing," his longtime manager Jeff Aghassi said in a statement. "If given the chance, it is exactly as he would have scripted it."
