Unbelievable. I thought he might be one who made it. He was so on top of and into what he was doing. He loved his life and life in general as much as anyone I have ever met. Our world, my world will never be the same. I will carry his spirit with me every where I go and in everything I do...

So unbelievable i'm having a hard time coming to grips with it even though i have know that this could happen but one thinks he was a superman and beyond this happening to one of the greats like him. To me it was a great shock and still trying to process it. Send out by sympathy to his family, friends and all who know him and love him. He will be missed but not for gotten by the ones who know and may he RIP!!!..

I want this to be a hoax so badly. If it's not, may he be at peace in whatever awaits us all.

Please take time to at least get your facts straight before rushing to be the first to post something first before anyone else. First off his name was not Grant. Second, many of the family and close friends still needs to be contacted and reading a post on Super Topo would not be how I would like to find out about a family member dying. As someone who knew them both fairly well and cared for them deeply, I think this is a really disrespectful way to discuss what happened last night. When more information is open to the public, there will be plenty of discussions on this incident. Until then please be respectful.
