that's awful, I'm really shocked.
R.I.P


i'm shocked

i mean i didn't know the guy at all, but :(((((((((((((((((((((((

RIP


...

It is with great regret and personal grief that we report that, around 9.30pm, Sunday 11th of May, we, the family of Scott, discovered his body and found that he had committed suicide through painkiller overdose.

In his final wishes (through suicide note), he stated he wished for his death to be reported on both his blog and other notable online sources.

We cannot say much more than this, as the pain of our loss is too great. However, we will always miss our son, and our loss will be felt by many.


Thank you

Obviously sad news if this is true. If it isn't it's a bit sick


Jesus!

RIP :-(


this is really awful

he left that thing on here on sunday saying bye. thats so sad


Um, MySpace says....

HAHAHA LOL GOOD VIDEO MAN, the porno one"

....?


That comment was here a minute ago

http://www.myspace.com/gutterbreaks

And disappeared shortly after I posted this....


Is anyone actually reading this?

I mean, for the record I want to throw a safety RIP in. But that seems a little too coincidental....


HI


THANK YOU

I mean, seriously, thank you...


I'll take that as a 'no'

A dead person posted on a MySpace after dying.

Er... how?


Same management as 2Pac?

If this is true then it's awful news.

If this is false then it's awful news.

Lose/lose.


^ this


:(


Holy Shit

that is just awful.

RIP


I don't know the chap...

But this is incredibly sad.


:(

shocking :(


i seriously hope this isn't real

and to give the chance that it's not fair thought, a) would his family really have it up on his blog so fast? and b) how would there already have been time for an autopsy to determine COD? (though they could just be making a statement based without an autopsy)

i feel horrible bringing up employing logic here, but i think it should be done.

anyway, sorry to hear this if it's the actual case. it's awful--deepest condolences and rest in peace.


you might be right

but then I'm sceptical about most things.


Thats what I thought

but then I'd like to believe people wouldn't make stuff like this up


chill out everyone

It surely can't be real.


what kind of sick cunt

would joke about this kind of thing.


^


if it's false

i think it's probably more a cry for attention than it is a joke. but still not a good thing to do, obviously. and if it is a joke, well that's something else entirely. that is pretty sick.


^

RIP and deepest condolences if this isn't a horrid joke.


Blog entry is gone.


hmmm


someone's

going to be sub-popular in the interwebs if this is a hoax innit.

obviously, if it is true, deepest sympathies. But its not is it....


and gone!

;'


Oh my God.


^

Deep shock.

RIP :(


I may be (and certainly hope I am) wrong

but I suspect it isn't true. What with the abovementioned MySpace post, and the sudden disappearences of seemingly his ENTIRE blog, all signs suggest as such.


Nothing whatsoever now.

It simply states:

Apologies, but we were unable to find what you were looking for. Perhaps searching will help.


Its a pretty big lie

I mean, this is no JenniGunn here- there's no coming back from this.


^ This.

You can't gain trust back after this.


His user profile is "Closed"

and his last post was on Satuday after 12pm.

I really hope that this is not true.


if this is true, then its really really sad

suicide is such a waste :(
if only people could hold on, life gets better, you just have to make it.


^

very wise words


...

Is there anyway someone can find out if this is true or not? Because if it isn't then this is one fucked up joke.


As I said up there somewhere

There was a comment on that MySpace page (he links to it on his blog). I posted the comment on here, and about two minutes later it was gone.

The only way you could explain that would be a) someone using his account to tell people of his death (at 3am), and then decided to go and post a not very sad sounding comment on his friends bands page. Uh, unlikely. Or that it was hacked, and the hacker strangely decided to do the same. Kind of unlikely still.


Look, it's very obvious you're proud of your internet detective skills

But could you possibly try and be a bit more gracious in the event that this is actually true?


I put in a safety RIP

and I'm not 'proud of' whatever. I just think everything suggests it's not true. If it is, then my sincere apologies to whoever this has offended. Like, actually sincere.


MySpace may just have the times screwed up

Like if it was set for EST or something instead of GMT?


Not to mention that

"scottfamily"

has stayed near constantly at the top of the users online thing....

I'm going to look so bad if it's true now, I guess.


I think you are probably right

i've been scared to post incase its true and i'll look like scum, but rip x infinity if it is true


he did do all that

jenniegun stuff...so shame if it is true but bit much if it isnt


this 'jenniegun' stuff

seems to totally have gone over my head

what happend?


Just a fake profile

that he did, it was jennigunn

http://discover.drownedinsound.com/articles/3249125

...so just saying that he was/is a bit of a joker


ANDY KAUFMAN

noone will believe he's even died.


i can't see this

but RIP :(
from the comments, this is awful!


It would be quite

strange for a family to use the term RIP anyway, and also quite strange for them to do all this "administrative" stuff this soon, so i m going for HOAX


I don't think it's true either

maybe I'm heartless?


i disagree.

my friend took her own life last year. Her dad logged onto her facebook and left a message in her 'status', saying he loved her and he hoped she'd 'RIP'... So yeah it's not unusual to use that term.


I HATE THIS

if its true or not

its ruined my day


^this

exactly


all of it?

there's lots of day still left!


ive just done a history a level too

which was not great
and i have to revise to french now.

poop.


bummer


hmm

straight after we find out about that woman on the poker site dying. either way, that's a shame. and y'know, if he didn't die then he will totally never be able to return to the internet.


I tried adding him on myspace

Someone's been on his account today so I thought I'd try. It'd be nice if someone can shed any light on this.


I searched for his name once

an insight into his personality

in summary, it's 100% made up
Hi scott


Youtube is blocked at work

Summary plz?


guy runs around in fluffy cat mask

and worries about his taxes. Looking at his myspace username(tornriprip), this is probably him as well
http://www.drownedinsound.com/user/view/56822


"Lol"?


jumping to conclusions a bit?

i don't know if this is real or not, but just becasue a guy makes a fucked up video doesn't mean he didn't kill himself. if anything i would say it could be evidence of an unstable mind. or something.

also another user has a slightly similar name to his myspace profile? doesn't mean they are the same person.

i don't know. i hope it is a joke, but i sure ain't laughing


^

that video is fucking weird
