Hello VGBA,
I am very upset to say that, Tanz Jefferson, aged 23, was found dead at his flat at around 6pm today. It has been turned into the police, and as now reviewed as an murder case.
He was hit on the head with an large object, causing an brain hemoreage. This in turn, caused a blood clot in his brain, causing his slow and painful death.
We would like your support, varily. We would request you all to pray to God, due to this fairly horrendous matter.
This is his work mate speaking, Chris.
Support will be vastly accepeted, towards his friends, and family.
Rest In Peace Tanz, you were always an good friend.
September 9th 1985 - Febuary 23rd 2009.

Not so sure what to make of this... i'm really sorry to ask, but could we have some evidence? (please don't take this the wrong way, but it's not always easy to completely trust everything you read on the Internet.)

I'm really sorry, but we need official confirmation before anything else. I'm not doubting you, if you are one of his best friends I would trust you completely, but... you know, isn't there anything about this on the news? Originally Posted by XCore-Tempoary

Wow, I'm so sorry. Send my regards to his family, will you Chris? Losing a loved one is a crushing blow, I know how that feels, it's recently happened to me as well. R.I.P Tanz.

I'll pick up the daily Metro tomorrow at the train station on the way to college, if it was true (im not doubting its not) then it would be in there.

I hate to sound like a dick, but...proof please? Also, that post contains a bunch of numerous commas in places, much like Tanz's style of writing...sorry if I seem inconsiderate, but I really can't be sure. And how did you have access to this account, did you go to his house or something?
If I am indeed making the wrong assumptions, then I am extremely sorry, and I feel pretty sad over what happened. My thoughts go out to Tanz's family and friends.

I have to say, like others above, without proper proof, this is hard to believe. Who knows though, this could be Tanz's way of leaving VGBA. who knows. also, what about some of us who live across the pond (North America)? we don't get BBC east, so theres no way of proving this until Gary or Greg or someone from over there posts.
if this is true, R.I.P. Tanz, I'm sorry we had all those fights.Last edited by Lestat_the_vampire; 02-23-2009 at 01:14 PM.

He let me use his VGBA account on numerous occasions, such as on work and University. He used to let me browse through boxes, comment, fav.. Originally Posted by DrDoomsday

You can understand why some people are doubting you though right? Originally Posted by XCore-Tempoary

I guess no one remembers when Jonas was supposedly dead either.

Okay, thanks. Once again, sorry if it seemed like I was being inconsiderate, because it's a very sensitive topic, and losing a loved one is one of the most painful experiences you can go through. Originally Posted by XCore-Tempoary

Cancer.. Ah yes. He didn't make a swift "recovery", he even told me he refrained from letting you guys know about his situation to avoid the flaming he already receieved. Originally Posted by Cerium

Even prior to his death, he was still suffering.
About eBay fees I do not know about that situation...
