I'm really sad, even if I never met him personally and only knew him from his talks, his software and of course his blog.

I had hoped that after his illness he would be granted some time for personal life and recovery — which makes this news all the more shocking.

He was a good hacker but also a HUGE, arrogant jerk who treated a lot of people quite badly.

What do you mean by this?

Are you sure it was him? And not an external, perhaps undocumented and extremely illegal, system affecting his actions and behaviour?

Very sad news to hear. People of his caliber are sorely needed in the community. My condolences to everyone close to fefe.

Fefe is a different person

Came here to ask the same question / conclusion.

It was thin to find out the differences between the two.

Though, FeFe also suffered some health issues lately, IIRC?
