Don't know if it's been posted yet, but some poor Swiss guy, Neal Valiton, just about most of our ages, died 3 days ago.
Really sad, considering he was so young and already playing with the big guns.

RIP

Wow. A senior at my school died last week. He was the most popular kid in school, and was a really great kid. My sympathies to his friends and family. It always sucks to have someone you know die.

fell backwards while hucking a cliff, severed his cervicals.

At least it was probably a very quick and painless death

there tends not to be to many "natural" deaths at age 18.. and the second link said of an accident, but without any more details..

RIP

R.I.P. that is too young, must be rough for friends and fam. At least he chasing his dream, doing what he loved.
