Sad News About Our Friend @SW15

[Plinco]

I was wondering about him. He would be on here on a regular basis spitting out statistics and when some posters here noticed that he had been gone for a while, we assumed that he had gotten himself a girlfriend to occupy his time.

It's really sad to hear and reminds you how important every minute is. I remember challenging him and trying to get him to really come at me because I wanted to see what he was made out of.

High on Everest rests a soul who dared to dream beyond limits.

Where was SW 15 from and how old was he?

Like you, he was Italian.

My condolences, he had some very thought provoking posts.

WTH, That’s so damn sad and shocking to hear.
I remember how much of a contributor he was with the posts and had some great, thought provoking threads.
May he Rest in peace.

Yes, he was a great guy. Stay safe out and there watch your back because lots of people unfortunately are not in the right state of mind and anything can happen or some unfortunate circumstances can happen. We're living in uncertain times and you just never know when your time might go.

I am still trying to process this but
sadly @SW15 passed away on October 26th.

He had a seizure while swimming. He was a great contributer here and is missed.

Hearts and prayers to his family and loved ones.

As the message advising this news stated:

"You just never know. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. Go out and live life."

RIP

Oh damn. Why am I only finding this out now.

 

[Gamisch]

Damn

That shyte made me tear the feck up...

He was such a great guy, always analytical and factual. Never no beefs and provocations.. the type of guy I would really wanna meet IRL.

SW...I'M gonna miss you my brother. Watch down upon us and we will see you soon and have endless discussions about the game.

RIP

I want to say Phoenix? But not 100% sure. Early 40s.

I've been re-reading some of his posts. For some reason, they seem to have more value now that he's gone.

We had some really nice exchanges, the Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel threads and some others.

This is just the saddest news, still processing it. He was way too young...

He was in Dallas, although it appears that he had moved around.

Times like this wish we had a instant message feature again

Like people in here said, you never know when your time is going to be up, so it’s best surrounding yourself with love ones and doing the things you love.

Awww nawww .

I'm just now finding out about this.

This is terrible news, as SW15 was about the closest I've had to a "friend" on here.

He and I were in correspondence regularly in the PM'z, and our last chat was back in Sept.

I had also noticed his lack of presence in recent months, but didn't think anything of it..but never thought it would be because of this.

Fukkk. .

RIP, amigo.

So did the seizure basically lead to him drowning? If he was not in water, would he have been fine?

My understanding is it's uncommon to actually die from a seizure although it can happen under certain circumstances.

I can't say for certain but more likely is he drowned in the pool during the seizure which makes this even sadder as had he not been in water, he might have survived.

Without more info this is only a guess but it does make sense.

 

[HaleyBaron]

These days, hardly anyone goes outside. So I don't want to know how long it was before they found him. Just imagine if people weren't so stuck to their tvs and smartphones these days. He might have lived if at least one person had saw it.

Pour one for him.

If he has family or next of kin, they would get some sort of settlement if they got a lawyer and threatened to sue. Almost all apartments are owned by corporations with a lot of money and insurance. I'm not saying it was anyone's fault, but that money is there to be had if you know anyone in a position to claim it.

Unfortunately it's not that simple to sue. Apartments don't require lifeguards. Just specific safeguards to keep kids from wandering into them accidentally.

Negligence is a fuzzy standard, ordinary and reasonable in the community. I personally think it's fuzzy to enrich lawyers, so they can always make money from either side. But it's next to impossible to know for sure how a jury trial would go. When faced with a giant lawsuit, it's almost always best to settle. It might only end up being a few thousand bucks, but it would be something for his family if he had any living relatives.

I personally knew SW15 and was informed by his mom about what happened. Out of respect for the family please stop with the negligience/insurance/who was at fault debate comments and/or take it somewhere else.

Lets keep it about SW15 and his contributions to SS.
