Octopus of Odstock 2,187 Posted July 13, 2020 Godot, I think, was in his mid 50s when around in the late 00's. He is/was a journalist but I'm not sure of his real name. Journos don't always have long lifespans... I am sure I recollect a very minor DLr dying as I thought a family member posted it. This would be aeons ago but my memory is not what it was.

The sum of evidence we have for this death is one post from Windsor stating he's dead. May be true, but hardly conclusive atm 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did actually just manage to view her profile (after slagging the search function off!) and saw she last visited in September. I hope she is well, whatever she is up to.

Pedro67 232 Posted July 13, 2020 I am very happy to say i'm here. I may only be a bit part player here, but serious health issues earlier this year meant I had instructed the missus to log on to say i'd popped off, and thanks for the laughs. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nowt to do with DL posting but several years ago a few people received messages from the "son" of Paul Harrison suggesting he was dead. There was a fulsome obituary printed in the Carlisle United fan magazine. V.long story short, the faked death eventually turned into sizable stories in the local and national press because other lies caught him out - link: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/jul/15/true-authors-interviewed-serial-killers-paul-harrison 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Predictor 1,018 Posted July 14, 2020 There was this one new member from an Asian country whom I was told by Charon in 2016 that they might've died around that time. It was just specultion, though. Not certain. Glad to hear about Magere. Maybe there was death in his family and he got sad to the point of not even wanting to visit this morbid site. I can tell you right now that I would most likely stop deadpooling if any of my closest died + limit my visits here enormously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can tell you right now that I would most likely stop deadpooling if any of my closest died + limit my visits here enormously. Why though? It’s a completely different thing. I found it quite comforting to be able to post things here during my sister’s illness and subsequent death at the age of 43, fully aware it’s strangers on the internet and most people don’t give a fuck but that was useful as it’s people ‘outside’ of the situation, if that makes sense? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted July 14, 2020 People have different reactions to dealing with loss. You’re right for some people it’s better to discuss it on the forums to help them move on, but some people might also think the right choice for them is to take a hiatus from the forums/dead pooling in general like Dr T. It’s just different for every person. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s just different for every person. This is true - I wasn’t meaning to question another’s motives, reading it back my post didn’t come across as I intended. We are certainly all different in our ways, and this is what makes the forum the veritable smorgasbord of all human life that it is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
