Oh, fuck no. I, too, was hoping for some punch line when I opened this thread. 
condolences to his family and friends.
So sorry to hear this. How horrible for his family.
How awful. He really did make this a more interesting place. My deepest condolences to those who knew him in meatspace.
What?! No! I was friends with him on facebook and he was an awesome guy and he was just fine…oh geez… :(:(
Wow, such a young and vibrant guy! I’ll miss him…such a loss.
:eek:
I hope this is the world’s sickest joke. He’s way too young, not to mention one of my favorite posters. Fuuuuuuuuck.
He was one of those who made this place what it is.
RIP young man.
How horrible. Condolences to his family and friends.
I’m so sorry to hear this. He was always so nice.
What. What. WHAT???
Holy shit. I really, really hope this is someone’s idea of a joke.
So sorry to hear about this. That’s so young! Sympathy for his family and friends. He was a good one.
Very sad.
That was pretty much my reaction - no way! He can’t be dead - he was young, and fun, and having a good time in Japan…
My condolences to his family and friends.
Me too!
But I’m thinking that the mutual friend heard it from Auto’s parents. They were pretty close.
Please let us know details as soon as you find out.
I’m just stunned. He will be missed!
This is terrible news. My condolences to his family.
Bye Auto. I liked you a damn lot.
I know that if someone I’d never met made such an impression on me, his irl people must be hurting bad. I’m sorry for you guys.
Oh no! I’m so sorry. My condolences to his family.
