This article says it was a fatal heart attack. <S>

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Here's word from Shriike's son, KB:

"I just logged in for the first time in a very long time and saw hiTechs post and all the subsequent salutes.

I couldn’t comment and had to close it all down for now... it was tough to see...good and bad....

He passed away in his sleep, in his favourite chair in, in his farm home of 36 years. He suffered a heart attack during the early hours of January 28th. . .

Shriike enjoyed relaying stories of M3 glory, and the “poor SOB” flying too low and too close to his comically lethal Wirble. Thank you to the AH community for taking him in and sharing in his gaming glory. -KB"

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

<S> Shriike

When I came back to the game in 2012 after a 10 year absence we chatted briefly about our call signs.  I sucked after coming back and he was in top notch form. RIP Shriike!!
