Wasn't a fan but this is incredibly sad still.

I remember him... his first single wasn't half bad. But still, he's like... a couple of months older than me. WTF is going on?!

Aye, he's less than a year older than me. There's no info there about how he died, which is odd.

Since there's no info and the guy's 25, it's probably suicide.

My understanding is that that was the case, yes. Involving the use of a seventh-floor window, for the record.

Gosh, that is freaky. I got a copy of his album via a promo back in mid-2001 and reviewed it for the AMG -- reading the review now confirms what I remember, that it was pleasant if not deathless and that he might yet have gone somewhere. RIP, indeed.

He was younger than me. Egad... poor guy.

Shit, a girl I used to work with lived with him. Horrible thing.
