The evidence all points to Pinballfortress's 'death' being a sad and worrying hoax:
1. His last post on DiS was about 9.30am sunday morning saying "I'm really depressed. Leaving Dis. Bye". According to the 'parents' statement' his body was discovered on sunday lunchtime having OD'd on painkillers. This is simply just not possible - a painkiller OD is a very slow, agonising process that can last up to 3days, it isn't even possible that he could have been dead so quickly.
2. Within 24 hours his 'family' had made an internet-wide statement - This doesnt seem plausible for one, and for two they would not have had the autopsy results back at such an early stage.
3. All the other posthumous evidence of him posting online seems to be fairly conclusive - a dead guy doesnt write on myspace!

apologies if this is insensitive, but the truth's gotta come out

No way of really knowing, so I don't care


You know what I haven't had in a while,

Tizer. Does it still taste like fizzy Benylin?


That stuff was weird

It unsettled my senses no end.


apparently it didn't sell well

so they binned it.


thats because

tizer ice is the devils drink. it tasted minty. Minty!


Wasn't there menthol in it?

Apparently mint feels cold or some such amazing logic.


heh,

that sounds plausable. so it would taste cold even if it wasnt. pity it tasted like sugary mouthwash.


at least 3 yonks

I heard that the bald man on the can actually grew some hair.


well i give a shit

cos it got me real down hearing that someone had killed themself, even tho i only vaguely knew him. So when i was thinking about it and concluded that the story we had been presented with was a clear lie (since it was not even POSSIBLE) i was pretty pissed off.


Sounds really cuntish

but people I don't know die all the time. It doesn't please me, but I wouldn't be able to do much if I let it really affect me


Of course.

People we know > thousands of foreigners.


If this thread gets 'serious' and goes on for hundreds of replies now because of you

I'm going to hunt you down and sing the Belgian Eurovision entry through your letterbox all week.


was it a good song?

if its a good song i dont think he would mind


death i can handle,

its people who do weird, horrible shit like pretend to have killed themselves that gets me - the fact is, it is impossible for PF to have died from a painkiller overdose in 6hours. Therefore this whole thing was a cruel hoax, perpetrated on US. designed to hurt US. so yeh, it sucks balls


u that?


man john


IMA FAT MAN

WITH HORNS AND A BIG ROCKET LAUNCHER AND BIG BIG PECKS THAT ARE RIPPED AND SCARY


nope.


whats it mean?

he put it there? after he died? i dont understand


yes he got a family member

to take it there, it was so sad


so........

he asked his friend to put it there and pretend he was dead?
or he asked someone to take it and out it there knowing he would be dead at the time?
or what?
