I just got word that Autolycus passed away unexpectedly this morning. I don’t have any details.
Here’s to you, John. 
But . . .
Oh, hell. He was a neat guy. I liked him.
What?! What happened? I’m sorry for his family…
Wow. I just did a double-take when I saw this thread title. So very sorry to hear this.
My first thought was that this HAD to be a joke.
Shit.
I can’t believe this…he was so young! I’ll miss him very much.
Do we know what happened yet? I haven’t seen anything on his facebook page saying how he died.
What the #$?!!! Oh man! I’m so sorry!
Oh no. Goddammit.
Aw, man, this is terrible news! I can hardly believe it! A young, funny guy and one of my favorite posters. What a shame!
RIP indeed, Auto!
What?
Is this some kind of joke?
This is just horrible news.
But…is this confirmed?
Oh, no …
Dear God, he was just posting a few days ago. That sucks.
Sympathies to his family!
That’s terrible. I’ll really miss his posts.
His profile says he was active last night at 11 pm. Damn.
28 really is too young.
I ws wondering a few days ago: When people only know each other from online contact, what are the ways in which they learn of each other’s death?
I’ll post updates as I get them. I’m seriously hoping that this is a joke, but it came from his best friend, who I don’t think would make that kind of a joke.
I feel especially for his parents, who are also good friends of mine. He was an only child.
I sent a message to his father, but haven’t heard back yet.
Please give my condolences to his family for me.
