Youngest Lotto winner death - DS poster?
I've just come across an article on Mail online re: one of the youngest lotto winners being found dead early hours yesterday morning.
I have a bad feeling the picture in the article is that of DS poster stewbob1980. I do hope i'm wrong and apologies to anyone if I am.

Even if it's not, such a tragedy and a shame the winnings didn't bring happiness:(

What makes you think that?
I agree it's a sad story.
Why do you think its him?
If you google the username, it brings up a profile on Netblog.
The pictures on the account show it is the the same man the one in the DM article.
He gives over his city and DOB both matching his DS profile.
Stuff like this always gives me an uneasy feeling in my stomach for some reason. A very sad story.
RIP.
Thanks for letting us know Humph.
Sorry router crashed as replying, i'd seen similar picture before on here, as you can see in link even looks same t-shirt

This must happen a lot on DS but normally we wouldn't know, bet he wasn't expecting a dailymail article about himself a couple days back!
How terribly sad. I didn't realise he was such a recluse.
It seems posting on DS can be a dangerous activity! :eek:
I just read a post of his, and it would be of been the 10th anniversary (give or take a couple of days) of his Dads death.
Two very tasteless responses when someone has just died.
How very sad, he was only young.
You're right, it was tactless. I apologise. Although the recluse thing was because he said he was - I wasn't casting aspersions.
I think he was aware he wasn't totally well:

In what way is describing him as reclusive in bad taste?
That's why I like to make the most of life because when your number is up it's up.
How do you concur that from that post?
I think 1998 would not be long after he won the lottery, therefore being very wealthy, hence the need for a will...I think that was all he was saying.
