lance_sibleyI hate to be posting this at what is the first thing in the morning for most of you, but I just got this in my email from the Toronto_Fen list:
From the Titan Rainbow forums:
It is with tremendous sadness that I inform everyone Malcolm Xerxes has passed away.
The details are slow in coming but what we know is that he died on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 sometime in the afternoon.
Police are still attempting to contact family members so if anyone knows how to contact Malcolm's relatives, either in Ontario, Canada or in Manchester, England please have them contact Peel Regional Police in Mississauga Ontario, or the Toronto Police Services directly; or through their local authorities.
I promise that as things calm down and we absorb this devasting news that more information will be posted here, but I felt it important to let everyone know what we could.
Those who have been advised already are grieving each in their own way at the loss of this very special man. I hope each of you find solace in your memories of encounters with him, in person and through these channels. We at Titan shall miss him terribly.
Take care everyone. I am sorry to be the bearer of this sad news.

Some of you are no doubt wondering whom I'm talking about. Malcolm was a Toronto-area member of science fiction fandom, as well as being a stuntman and actor. He had been a panelist at Toronto Trek for the past few years, and more than that... we in local fandom have considered him to be a good and loyal friend.
