So young, does anyone know why? Maybe that's a morbid question, and I am sorry for everyone's loss.
I didn't think someone so young could die of "natural causes", but apparently even dying from the flu or sudden heart failure qualifies as a natural cause: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_natural_causes Ooof. Terrifying.

DVT is also considered a natural cause, and if you sit all day, you're at a higher propensity to die from it: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/deepveinthrombosis.html

#13I met him when he was visiting Vancouver a few years ago and had exchanged e-mails with him a few times. It's really sad to see him pass away.

It says natural causes, so I feel that's enough to remove fears of anything self inflicted. On another note, I'm saddened to hear about this. I was actually just thinking about him specifically and wondering what he was up to since I hadn't heard anything about his involvement in Fail0verflow lately.

#19Edit: I actually realized who he is now, as I only knew of him by the name "bushing". A shame to see a great hacker go.
