No other details yet. The guy was obviously a bust for us, but this is horrible to hear. EDIT: Looks like cause of death was a heart attack, possibly a congenital issue, but it's a shame no matter what the cause. RIP big guy.

Wow. I was ready to respond to other threads, but this makes that seem pointless. This is awful. So young.

How terrible.  Far too young no matter what the cause.

Wow, sad news. Comments are saying he had a heart attack. Makes me think he might have had marfans syndrome

Wow, I am totally shocked.  A heart condition would explain his slowness.  I am very rarely really sad when someone I don't know passes away, but I am really sad about Fab. RIP.
