A thread appeared on 69th vlatitude yesterday that appeared odd. We didn't really understand what it meant but Vash's signature explains. Apparently Vash's brother posted the thread. Its sad news and I hope its a sick joke and that it didn't really happen.

as i just said in a PM, lets not begin a "good bloke" thread just yet. this could very well be a cruel joke.

[edit]that thread was posted yesterday, vash was here today..

Cruel joke indeed! I sure hope so. Anyone have ay more information?

I have not seen vash around for a while. but who would he tell all his passwords to that would update his profile as such? It seems too non-informative to be real. Check the newspapers for the town that he lived in. surely it would be there if it's a smaller town. Since he owns the site: tefp.net his information such as address and real name is available to me. I checked AP news archives for anything containing his name and also checked local newspapers: There is no news of his death in any of them so far.

[edit] of course i also now have his phone number, I could call and say "is vash there" see what happens... not really, just a thought.

Spartan, I would never do anything that insensitive. If there is even a possibility of this being true the last thing a parent needs is to get a phone call asking if thier dead son is there because "I just noticed it said he was dead on the internet and stuff."

BUT whoever posted on tefp.net was sure very quick to post the "fact" on the site. If indeed it was a brother or relative, they weren't grieving too much to have updated it just ONE day after thier brother's death. I know ppl greive in different ways, but posting it on the internet is not really a conventional approach. I mean, there are LOTS of other tihngs to take care of after a death besides letting all his little internet pals know about it.
