Like many I was saddened to hear rumours that the poster had died.
http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1969346&page=22
saddened and also sceptical given there is no "source".
In these situations all we can do is rely on the integrity of an established poster to confirm or deny the claims. I have done some digging on other sites, but again all I see are "unclaimed" rumours.
I am not looking for "proof", and | certainly would not want anyone to "dox" someone. I was just wondering if anyone has anything to add.
In case anyone is suspicious of my motivation in starting the thread, I don't blame you, but in this case please take it at face value.

He was knowledgeable and always give very good advice.
I have been wondering why he hasn't post anymore.
omg very sad if he has passed away.
Cheers Keiō Line for mentioning his name cause I have wondered.
It seems a shame that someone who knew him well enough to know this happened only posted it on another site and not here on DS, because he was quite a prolific poster on here and I'm sure lots of people will remember chatting to him and would be sad to know that he passed away.
I hope it isn't true anyway, he was/is one of the good guys.
If you click 'find all posts' on his profile you can see if he's who you are thinking of.
But from having a quick scan, yes it looks like he posted about the Job Centre.
Not looking good, RIP
That is who I'm talking about.
He knew the ins and out of the benefit system.
This is very sad.
Thanks Bex, that is who I'm thinking about.
This is very sad indeed getting your pension finally, buying a motorbike and then it killing you.
I remember the Captain's username from his posts he was a really nice guy.
R.I.P Captain
My sympathies to all those who will miss him if true.

What evidence?
Am pretty sure that he would've been on to quash the rumours if it wasn't the case. He certainly wasn't a fantasist. Its been 9 months since suddenly topping his activity.
That post was made 2 and a half years before he last logged in, so not sure that is definitive proof that anything has happened to him.
Whilst it is sad to hear the demise of anyone you have conversed with, people come and go on forums all the time, so if someone hasn't logged into their account for ages, it doesn't mean they have died. Is this just rumour, or has someone who knows him in real life confirmed it?
Perhaps he's just decided to stop posting for whatever reason. I'm certainly not going to take the word of an anonymous baghead 'guest' post on a forum that's known to be 99% bullshit as gospel.
This.
True, but friendships do flourish on here and people do exchange emails. A enquired about another long time poster who suddenly stopped posting only to receive 3 pm's from other FMs who are still in contact. It appears that no one has heard from him in 9 months.
Ironically, it's giving up smoking that killed him
Absolutely.
It would be a pretty sick thing to make up, and what would the actual point be in doing so? There's forum bulls**t then there's saying someone's died.
