This is such a shame. I always loved watching his videos, and his website, and was always in awe at the source of TempleOS. The world, all of us here on HN included, could have treated him with more compassion.
My heart goes out to his family and those close to him, including all those who offered him the housing he refused. Terry has achieved well more than most of us could dream of, and honestly has left more of a net positive in the world than most of probably ever will. TempleOS singlehandedly got me interested in OS Dev, and the no doubt more than a few others as well, and with any luck many more in the future.
RIP Terry. For some reason, and I don't know why I find this somewhat shocking, but of all prominent deaths in recent memory, his death leaves me feeling the most emotional.

It hit me really hard too. I think it's because some of us witnessed that his spiral downward was partly because of him getting trolled by the 4chan crowd, we witnessed his helplessness, we witnessed him getting bullied. He was a star, but he had his demons. It's such a great tragedy, to lose him now, and to have lost him earlier as well.
