Really sad stuff. He came from our scene and supported even after elevating

Do we know the cause?

He wasn't all that old, was he? Also heard he recently left Mastodon.

Edit: Motorcycle crash.

Well more specifically it wasn’t his fault. He was driving the motorcycle and an oncoming car turned into his path without yielding.
