There are articles about this in various places (I saw it on the front page of cnn, highlighting just how influential he was), and it does feel a bit like the world has lost a Mozart or a Rembrandt. I'm not sure there has ever been anyone like him, or will be again.

Sad day -- only 47 years old, he had so much that everyone thought was still ahead of him.

Heart attack at just 47 years old. And not because of obesity. Maintaining his unbelieviable skill level must have been pretty stressful for him.

Can someone point to some of his famous works? Frankly it is the first time I’ve heard of him.

Man that is heartbreaking, I hope his mind put on an absolute banger of a lightshow for his road out. RIP

Probably better served by the direct site:

Edit: ...which still does not contain this critical piece of news. I cannot avoid thinking of that of Martin Perscheid, which on 5 August 2021 had an update "Unfortunately I currently find myself incapacitated, and responding to your queries will take a while". And ended with the same formula of former posts: "Thank you for your attention".
