Aged 35. Really shocking to hear this news. My thoughts are also with his friends and family.

This is awful news... Just have seen his Wii talk of 2008 on YT a few days ago. He's one of the godfathers of the Wii homebrew scene for me..
He had such a nice and kindful expression.
may he rest in peace :'(

That's a very sad news, 35 is too young, for a natural cause or not.
I didn't know him personally, but he is one of the people who brought us (developers and hackers) where we are now with his work, his team and advises.
