So young, does anyone know why? Maybe that's a morbid question, and I am sorry for everyone's loss.

It says natural causes, so I feel that's enough to remove fears of anything self inflicted. On another note, I'm saddened to hear about this. I was actually just thinking about him specifically and wondering what he was up to since I hadn't heard anything about his involvement in Fail0verflow lately.

    I agree, but I hadn't seen his name attached to the PS4 work, so I just kind of assumed he wasn't an active member of the team in the last little while.

I didn't think someone so young could die of "natural causes", but apparently even dying from the flu or sudden heart failure qualifies as a natural cause: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_natural_causes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_natural_causes Ooof. Terrifying.

  DVT is also considered a natural cause, and if you sit all day, you're at a higher propensity to die from it: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/deepveinthrombosis.html https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/deepveinthrombosis.html

    And if you're obese, like he was.

    Developers really need to look after their health. Our sedentary lives are impacting our health: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11040932 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11040932 Hopefully, we'll soon figure out ways to monitor and measure our health. Then dying from natural causes will never happen.

  All "natural" means in this context is that the person died independent of the actions of self or others, its the "not manmade" definition. Had a friend go with an aneurysm at a little younger age. Its horrifying to have those nothing you could do scenarios. Hit me much worse than the overdoses, suicides, or car accidents, and I'm not really sure why.
