How does a 35 year old die of natural causes? In any event, that's way too young. Condolences to his friends & family.

This made me sad... I remember joking with him on an IRC channel when Sony sued all of the f0f members with their nicknames, even though his name could easily be googled.
RIP.

This saddens me to hear this news. Although I only spoke with bushing a few short times on IRC, he was very pleasant and helpful. Homebrew being available for the wii is what first got me interested, so I wouldn't have developed a good %80 of my technical skills if it wasn't for bushing and marcan's efforts with hacking and homebrew.

@marcan_troll If there is a place where we can send flowers for his family, or a charity that I can donate to in his name then please let me know. I am sorry for your loss.

RIP, so sad at 35! Such a waste of obviously a very intelligent and gifted individual. It would be just as sad if any of those guys went the same way cause without them where would we be? we certainly would not have the highs and lows of hacking!!! and that goes for the guys that work on the wiiu exploits as well I'm sure they all know each other in life anyway.

Holy ****, I think it's fair to say allot of people here owed this guy (myself included) along with his fellow team members.

RIP.
