RIP Samurai

[The Great Shark]

For those wondering, Samurai's brother came on here and let everyone know of the news. He said he spoke with Samurai a few days before he was in the hospital on life support after a brain aneurism. He didn't go into details, it's all in this thread.

He also said when he spoke to Sam about BS, Sam said that he still goes on here all the time, that he "loved it" and thought the people were cool.

Also another member Jaz said he was going to message the brother to see if he knew the answers to some of the personal questions that only a close friend or relative. As far as we know Jaz came back to the thread and further clarified Samurai's passing.

In my experience online the chances of this being real are about 2%. If its real why is the "brother" being so cryptic, not saying what happened, or any real details, just that he died of a brain hemorrhage, which is very broad, and few people just die of a brain hemorrhage, there usually is a stroke involved etc... How about linking the obit to one of his friends on here if you dont want it public, having the friend say, "I saw the obit" and then its proven.

This happened on the ESPN basketball boards a few years ago and is something of legend. Some guy posted as a female Kansas fan for like 3 years, then went on as another name and said she died, then a year later came back and admitted everything. The thread is like a thousand pages long and you can read through all the drama there.

Chances of Samurai being alive and playing a joke 90%. When things dont seem right, they usually arent. What brother, a day after watching their brother die unexpectedly, is going to be like, "Well I got tons of stuff I have to do, but I better go on the internet forums he posted on that I recently started an account on, and let people know that he died." It would have been one thing if he started an account that day, but he didnt.

The fact that its cryptic, the fact that it dont make no sense, the fact that this isnt original and pretty much every message board has one of these just in my mind makes it pretty close to certain this is fake. I mean if he died why not say his real name, who cares. Seriously until someone comes on here other than the brother and is like "yeah I saw the obit" people should assume its fake.
