So sad… he will be missed.
This is so tragic and shocking. He will be missed.
So damn sorry.
What terrible news. He will be missed.
I’m so sorry to hear this. He was a sweetheart.
I’ve been hoping we’d hear it was a misunderstanding or even a hoax - dealing with the silly fallout from a hoax would be a pain, but nothing compared to this reality. So sorry to hear this.
Put me in the ranks of those extremely shocked at this. How saddening.
RIP, Auto. You were one of the good guys.
Damn that sucks. 
Shocking disbelief!!!
When I saw the title, I thought, “That Auto, he’s up to something…”
My deepest sympathies to his family and friends, on such a shocking loss. Our community suddenly feels somewhat smaller.
Gah. Sad to hear. Waaaaay too young.
I’m so sad about this. I remember his name but I didn’t really know him. In reading the tributes here I have a feel for what kind of young man he was. My sincere condolences to all of you.
This just sucks!
We weren’t ready to lose him.
RIP Auto.
If anyone finds out what happened exactly, please post it.
Of course. But I’m not finding out anything.
I suspect that with his living in Japan, information is going to be hard to come by.
Autolycus was awesome. He took everything in stride after the results of his first few enthusiastic forays here and just became a very cool, witty, wry poster.
Perhaps his parents and closest loved ones are too grief stricken right now to confirm things for acquaintances on a message board.
What a terrible tragedy. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.
RIP Autolycus.
I agree - for someone with a sort of rocky start, he quickly settled in and learned our ways. A good kid.

He shared his joy. We share our pain. We go on, not in spite of this, but because of this.
Thank you and goodbye, Autolycus.
