I don’t have any clear info. He and I had not communicated since 2013. No sign of violence or suicide. The police & medical examiner have not filed reports. His online social media use had ended in 2013. He had left his job. My sister told me that Andy had been ill for some time. Hid friend told us about his death. Given what little I knew about his health, it may have been bone cancer. I don’t know anything more. He was my baby brother. He was 46. ---
