Good catch, ClintonBeGone. This may be the most recent incarnation of the infamous "death troll" (Poohbah coined the term), that periodically signs up on FR for a thread about someone's tragic death, pretends to be a close friend or relative, uses guilt to evoke the deepest sympathy and tries to see how many posters he can suck in. Typically, to prove his bonafides, he'll google up as much information as he can find on the victim and sprinkle it throughout his posts. I think the last time the death troll struck was on the thread about the death of a base jumper who died parachuting off of a tall radio tower.

LOL I had no idea that such a person existed. Pretty sick isn't it?
