Has anyone you knew online ever died?

This could mean merely seeing them somewhere a few times, to the point where you start to get a feel for that person, not necessarily associating with him/her.

I knew at least one. It was some guy from Hacked on GameFAQs, although I forget his exact username. He had some kind of disease that was eating at his body which had no cure, and ended up suiciding a few months after I saw him post about the condition.

Yeah, only one person. I used to post on a small anime forum a few years ago. The guy was pretty cool, posted a lot, but lived somewhere in the Middle East and did some form of military work, and well, those two never go well together.

AnathemaEntropy from the GameFAQs Religion board. I didn't know the guy, but I had read many of his posts.

No, thankfully, although there have been a few recent instances where I've merely worried about a couple or so people online dying (which has never happened), but I'd rather not get into the details. Yeah, it's weird, I know.

Another topic I'm not sure how I missed... A friend of mine on dA once attempted suicide, but failed. The worst part was, she posted a journal that just said "I just took an entire bottle of painkillers. If I don't return, that's why" or something like that, and then later a friend posted a follow-up in Polish (her native language) that of course I couldn't read, so I didn't even KNOW if she was alive or not >_<

Thankfully she's okay and doing a lot better now emotionally :)

There was another dA user that I remember died in a car accident, but I only knew several people who knew her; I had never actually had the chance to talk to her myself :/
