Oh my God D: That's terrible! I can't believe that happened... :[

According to the story, it seems unfair too.

"He compares the man's death to an execution, claiming he was on his knees when the last shots were fired."
That's so sad. :[

This is sad news indeed. I'm not a fan of Ed, Edd & Eddy, but 39 is way too young to die in this day and age. Having come in contact with people with mental illnesses myself, my heart goes out to his friends and family. I know how tough things can be.

I'll continue to monitor this story because there seems to be some big pieces of the puzzle that never made it into the box, so to speak.

Oh my gosh. That's terrible. And at 39?! Way too young

I feel terribly sorry for his family and friends after reading this. Someone like Dan Boyd doesn't deserve to die like this at all.
