I am... they are beside me. I felt I should tell my "friends."

I am... they are beside me. I felt I should tell my "friends."

Ok

Just be with them, their more important right now. You're friends will understand.

You've got a lot of emotion ahead of you, when my brother died it was harsh, the circumstances were very difficult, but I needed the people around me who could care about me the most :)

My condolences :(

Ouch. Do you know what he died of or was this sudden? Ouch.:(

Aw no. :( My sincere condolences.

Go and be with your family. You'll need them, and they'll need you at this time. :(

Sorry dude, that sucks. You should go be with your family.

I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

You and your family will be in my prayers.

He died tonight. I found him in the garage 45 minutes ago. He was cold and stiff.... why?

I am so sorry for your loss.

Now please, for your own sake and your family's sake; Get off this board and be with them.

:(

Wow sorry dude.:(

He died tonight. I found him in the garage 45 minutes ago. He was cold and stiff.... why?
Oh my god, that's horrible. Man, do you know how it happened? My thoughts are with you and your family.

I am sorry. I will pray for you and your dad and your family tonight. You have my condolences.

Oh my god, that's horrible. Man, do you know how it happened? My thoughts are with you and your family.
Thanks (& gals) guys- all of you...

We don't know for a fact how he died (that will be for the coroner to figure out), but I'm guessing he had a heart-attack and hit his head on something, looking at the way he was laying and the blood on his face.

This is weird. Are you sure you are ok?

So sorry for you and you were the one who found him.

This is weird. Are you sure you are ok?
I'll be fine... I just need some time.

Well, that sucks.

he was cold and stiff.... why?
Because the blood in every capillary, vein and artery in his body congeals, thus causing the muscle tissues and virtually all bodily tissues to stiffen.
;)

I'll be fine... I just need some time.

I know that we cannot really do anything for you, but if we can write something to otherwise make you feel better, let us know. I know how it feels, I had a similar awful experience, and I had a seizure and everything.

Anyway, rigormortis isn't going to set in within 45 minutes - it can take up to 12 hours sometimes more.
:rolleyes:

Ahh fck you still winked when someones dad died. That's not fucking cool no matter wtf u were implying.

He didn't say his dad died 45 minutes ago, he said he found him 45 minutes ago.
So his dad was dead for 12 hours and he didn't notice?

Sorry to hear.

Ahh fck you still winked when someones dad died. That's not fucking cool no matter wtf u were implying.You clearly don't see what I'm implying then.

If you are that drunk, abstain from posting at the forums, even more if you are just trying to pick a flamefight. Don't be a jerk, ok?

Dude, the guy winked after this guys dad died. Drunk or not, that ain;'t cool.

No it ain't but you are not helping the situation much with your swearing. Leave please and come back when you are more sober.

you find your dad dead.
Within 45 minutes you're on a discussion forum talking to a bunch of strangers from all over the world?

anyone here ever heard of HPD?

No it ain't but you are not helping the situation much with your swearing. Leave please and come back when you are more sober.
Correct. Apologies.

Emotions running a tad high. Sorry all.

1.- No dude, lass

2.- It's perhaps a bit unpleasant, but he didn't mean any harm

3.- It ain't cool, but your swearing is far, faaar more offensive

MY swearing is more offensive than someone winking after a person has just found their father dead? I find that very, very hard to believe. But fine.

2.- It's perhaps a bit unpleasant, but he didn't mean any harm
That depends on how many of you have figured out exactly where I'm coming from and what I'm suggesting

Nah, not really

Strangly, I think we may be kind of on the same wavelength here? I'm not too sure though.

That he's your typical histrionic internet teen making up stories to see if he can get a thread of his to go over two pages?

Actually, rigor mortis sets in about three hours after death, being in full effect after twelve hours.

No, that if it's true, your winking is worse than me swearing, lol.

I've no doubt in my mind that its not true.
Anybody who loses a relative as closes as a father isn't going to be sitting infront of a fucking internet forum within less than an hour.

It's a tragic case of myspace syndrome.

So his dad was dead for 12 hours and he didn't notice?Sure, if it happened overnight, or if he didn't live with his father.

I've no doubt in my mind that its not true.

Or it could be desperation, you know, when you need to talk to someone when your relative has died. No matter who it is.

I'm somewhat skeptical.

I am... they are beside me. I felt I should tell my "friends."
The above quote, for example, is verging on laughable.

Well, if it's true, then I'm deeply sorry.

If it isn't, I'm sorry for swearing and all that shit.

I said it was weird too. When I saw my dead mother I spent a week sedated and in a serious neurotic crisis. But...Same world, different people

Thing to remember people is that everyone handles death differently. Incase you people have not noticed, he has not posted in awhile. Now this could be due to several factors but really...unless we have evidence he's lying, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Or, to put it crudely, we could ignore the ****.
If its not true he should grow up, if it is true, he should go and talk to the people who matter and support his other family members, not sit glued to a computer screen.

Maybe you should stay out of a thread that you need not be in.

You're new here, and you're not making any good reputation for yourself.

Hey has anyone heard of the 'benefit of the doubt'. People handle grief in different ways. Mabye MrMopar just wanted to talk to people he couldn't see. And maybe his family aren't exactly focused on his talking on the computer they just found out their father or brother or husband is dead... so give him a break.

I am very sorry for the OPs loss, and my condolances are with you
whatever others might say, I shall belive you until you tell us otherwise.

They're a very useful font for intelligent discussion and information.

MrMopar, i'm sorry i didn't say this before, but i am very sorry for your loss. I live with my aunt, cause my mum n dad died. So i sorta know how you feel. You'll be in my prayers. honestly.

But their childish romanticised fantasies about "the suffering hero" aren't.

Oh, and should stop throwing leftovers and spoiled food to the mythological big, stinky, furry creature that used to live under bridges, by the way.

In other words, beware with feeding the troll

wow, you maned to make a complete ass out of yourself in 16 posts.

I'm impressed, it took me at least 50.

As for intelligent diuscussions... noooooo!!! I came here for the bitching, its funny!

I'm for the benefit of the doubt option. Losing anyone is horrible. I've still got both my parents, but I've seen that loss in friends, and it can last years.
I'm sorry.

If you say you're sorry, and give some sensible advice (Like, "go sit with your family"), but the event turns out to be a hoax, I can't see how you've done anything wrong. But if the guy's dad really has died, imagine how being called a liar and such is going to feel.

And I'll take a positive from the thread anyway: I hardly ever call my dad, let alone go visit him.
But I'd hate to hear one day that he's dead. Perhaps it's time to look him up and arrange a visit.

You're right losing those you love the most sucks, so that visit with your dad sounds like a fantastic idea. You never know what tommorow brings.

I'm not sure what to say. :( :fluffle: My condolences.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like he's lying. This is a terrible thing to lie about. He may still be in shock, and wants to talk to someone, stay relatively "normal" by talking to internet friends. I haven't seen him post for a while either, so maybe he's logged off.

I'm a troll because I can see through the standard insecure teenage internet persona?

I'm pretty far from the insecure teenage internet persona, but after all I'm not real so who cares?

And no, you're a troll because you started a discussion calling someone a ****, that's all.

I've just seen this too many times before.
On some forums I've been on, this kind of thing seems to happen at least twice a week.
He's quiet clearly bullshitting.

I have anecdotal evidence of the way teenagers often behave on forums.
I've seen "my mum/dad/friend/sister/imaginary girlfriend" has just died too many times and too frequently to take it seriously.

What does he have?

First page of the forum is starting a discussion...8 page is developing, and 24 page is spamming ;).

I know you were referring to him, but my point stands nevertheless. That's not the way to refer to anyone, even more to someone who is not harassing, or insulting you.

Thanks for the love part, but I don't really like those...Uhmmm, english word?, adjetives.

You to come up with the most unpiercing put downs I've ever seen.

Depends on who you ask. Usually what people think about what I write, mostly when I do not care about what I'm writing, do not have any effect over me.

I get the impression that's mainly because they don't have a clue what you're talking abouit and they dont' know what to think. The vast majority of your posts are bordering on the unintelligible.

That again depends on your IQ and your capability to rationalize, catch sarcasm, be informed, and know me.

Most people around here seem to uderstand what I say, although. Most laso know what to think, but then again, same world, different people, don't you think?

I work for a broadsheet newspaper and regularly write for philosophy periodicals, so my ability to rationalise, catch sarcasm and be informed is fairly up to scratch.

When my father died, I did something similar to Mr. Mopar, so for that reason I will give him the benefit of the doubt even though I can see how it might not fit in with what most people would consider to be grief, and also keeping in mind that people sometimes lie on internet forums.

He died tonight. I found him in the garage 45 minutes ago. He was cold and stiff.... why?


I don't believe you.

My condolences, I'm sorry for your loss. :(

I don't believe you.
finally, somebody with a sense of perception that extends beyond the end of their nose!

I don't believe you.
Then why bother to post?

I was unsure at first whether to believe him, but people deal with grief in different ways. I'm still mildly unsure, but I'd rather offer him a "sorry to hear about your loss" than start flaming him. Until he comes out with "haha I was lying you all suck" then I'm willing to offer my condolences to the poor guy.

:(

he wont, because he doesn't see this as a joke on us, he just wants the attention and superficial sympathy of a few names on a screen. I expect quite a few people who posted their "condolences" were secretly thinking "what a twat".

Well, english is not my native tongue. I really aprecciate corrections, so if you have any actual, precise ones, you can openly do them.

Oh, how interesting. I'm a writer for El Nacional, a national newspaper here in Venezuela, and I also direct the informative sections of a radio station. My english skills are not as good as my spanish, of course, but at least I manage to defend myself.

I'm so sorry, man. It's always tragic when someone dies, but it's part of the human condition. There actually is no "why," just the fact of it. Even though my dad and I were never what you could call "close," it still hurt deeply when he died. My thoughts and prayers are with you. :fluffle:

Just the truth. That's probably the most pertinent part of approaching these forums. The people here tend to be more "real" than in others I've been to. It's like one large community of friendly people with the occasional troll. *cough*;) Actually, I've been meaning to make a thread about that. Haven't gotten around to it yet, though.

Twelve to go here, then? ;)
Yes, a celebration to honor the departed soul.

And yes, Herr Trollmann, I'm willing to engage "willing suspension of disbelief" until otherwise proven.

Care to explain?, I didn't catch that one :(
Sure. I was quoting Doc Holliday from the movie Tombstone. Whenever someone issued a challenge, he stepped forward and said, "I'm ya huckleberry." with a particular smirk and a smooth Southern accent. So basically, I'm volunteering myself for the situation you described in your post.

Here, it is very rare when people announce deaths of loved ones. Now scat before someone reports you for trolling.

I'll believe MrMopar, but my mind thinks he might be lying, but some of you might be right about how different people handle shocks on deaths like this. But I do feel his pain if he's telling the truth, both my grandparents died.

Yes YES!!!

He was good at "The Doors", too...

And I think his performance in Oliver Stone's "Alexander" as Philipus (I know I misspelled) was the only part worthy of watching that wretched crap of a movie.

Val Kilmer is nice, talented and handsome.

He died tonight. I found him in the garage 45 minutes ago. He was cold and stiff.... why?

For what it's worth, I'm sorry to hear what you're going through. At the end of May, I nearly lost my dad. It was a matter of my sister checking up on him at just the right time, otherwise, he wouldn't be with us right now. I started my business with him, and I can't even begin to imagine trying to carry on without him around, and I can't begin to imagine how you must feel.

You have my condolences.

Quite so. I'm not one to fawn over celebrities, but he is quite good.
But I love his Doc Holliday character. Reminds me a lot of me...but with tuberculosis...and a shotgun.;)

That sucks. I feel sorry for you. :( :( :(

I'm not the one getting angry, sunshine.
No you're getting Frustrated because no one is believing you. We have YOUR type on NS general all the time. ;)

(When someone starts on the Pet names it means their losing so they switch to trying to annoy their opponent)

Oh and Sorry.

Sorry to hear that Mr Mopar. Mstreeted is right. Spend time with your family, and help each other through this time. N.S. General will wait.

Man, what a blow.

How are your abilities with irony? The irony of a troll complaining about internet histrionics while *gasp* grossly overreacting to something he doesn't believe and thus shouldn't care about.

I find your claims to be unlikely. You came to internet forum because you find it a good place to debate but you entered a thread where someone claims to have found their father dead? You appear to have entered this thread for the sole purpose of calling the thread starter a liar absent of evidence and then several other undeserved names long after the thread starter stopped posting.

As for evidence that he wasn't just looking for attention, he got tons of attention from you and others and this person looking for attention did what? Left? Yep, that fits right in with your little fantasy of the histrionic teenager.

But thank you for posting in such irony. You claim the poster is trying to get a long thread and who has the most posts in that thread? The person complaining that the thread is getting attention. I guess you packed your vast and unparalleled logic in a box this fine morning, huh?

And given that you've not only attacked the OP but everyone who disagrees with you with the same vitriol concentrating on anything but the actual points of their posts, I think their conclusion of what you are is rather convincingly presented.

EDIT: Also, my experience is that the guy calling the guy who says his dad died a '****' is the histrionic teen looking for a little attention whether positive or negative. And apparently all the evidence, according to you, needed to prove something is that we've seen it in the past, so it seems your own standards have proven you to be what you're accusing the OP of. (And given that 29 of your 30 posts are used not in debate but instead in trolling, I'd have to say the evidence against you is overwhelming.)

He died tonight. I found him in the garage 45 minutes ago. He was cold and stiff.... why?
ohmigod. I am so, so sorry.

ouch! I am so sorry to hear that. my condolences to you and your family.

Sorry to hear that dude. I konw it's a bit of a cliche but things do get better, honestly.

No you're getting Frustrated because no one is believing you. We have YOUR type on NS general all the time. ;)

(When someone starts on the Pet names it means their losing so they switch to trying to annoy their opponent)

Oh and Sorry.
No, she really is the embodiment of figurative sunshine.:D
