Back in 2005-06 we had two brothers posting here - WiseGuy and CheeseWhiz - who both eventually left.  A while ago, WiseGuy came back just to let us know that CheeseWhiz had passed away, but I don't recall if he elaborated on the circumstances.  He would have still been a teenager, I believe.

This guy? https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?action=profile;u=1290

If I ever stop posting for two or more weeks, then you should all assume that I'm dead.  Please be sure to mourn appropriately.

This.

Seriously, if I don't give good reason for not being here for a prolonged amount of time, assume I'm dead.

Once you reach 10,000 posts you become immortal.

But only as long as Nym doesn't disagree.

Yes, take me for example - I'm one of the pillars of the forum community and the moderators have killed me without even the littlest kerfuffle.

I remember CheeseWhiz. I ran against him and lost for Midwest Governor. Sad indeed.

I recall only two students in my schools ever dying, one in middle school (suicide) and one in high school (drug OD). I wonder if that's below average.

Just come clean already, Yatesey.

Whoa, I completely missed that. (Not surprising given the thread title and all, though.)

Rest in Peace.

A girl I actually knew rather well died of cancer in 6th grade. I recall an attempted suicide in 8th grade where a kid jumped off a roof, but he was lucky and didn't break anything. And then I'm still in 9th grade, so...

Some kid in my school hanged himself earlier this year. I heard rumours he did it in school (after the day concluded,) but it was never confirmed.

The school didn't talk much about it.

One of Nym's friends passed away but I think he didn't have many posts.

Christopher Michael?

Yes.

I remember a suicide in school, but that was a teacher.

My closest childhood friend surprised everyone by blowing her brains out when she was 16. Attractive, smart girl and no one saw it coming.
