What are they doing now?

[bruno]

... but hardly a word about the reason.

Some in the forum (pointed by Snaps) wrote that from the friends comments (on the mourning page in facebook) it sounds like his death was caused by overdose. Another commenter wrote something like: I know, it was overdose, you may just believe me or not.

I guess we'll never know for sure.

[Ian]

Tragic.

[fish]

Very.
Circumstantial evidence seems to point to an intentional overdose.
Depression can be a bastard of a thing.
I think we can assume he had a full dose.


Gotta move on though.

Gotta move on though.

True.

OK I know this is probably a mistake. Ima doped up to the eyeballs on flu medication. On top of my normal Seasonal Affective Disorder I'm depressed as shit about Stefan. I know which way the wind is blowing. I'm sure if it was one of the minor girl characters from FA it would have happend already. Yes he was a guy, and maybe it's no macho surprise that five times as many guys under 30, compared with girls, end up this way. I don't want to speculate but I've seen enough out there to convince me this was not death by natural causes. All I'm suggesting is it would be fitting to have a dedicated ''Stefan'' thread on here, some quiet corner in this garden of the website, to observe his passing in our memories. Maybe some photo stills from FA etc, and there are others around the net about his Boyard persona, and interests in wind-surfing etc. I'm not up to writing anything original right now, but I will come up with a dedication when my tears have dried...

For now I'll just upload ''VIRVELVIND" my re-dedication to Anders Göthberg. The sentiments for Stefan are just the same. Illustration by William Blake from ''Dante's Inferno: Whirlwind of Lovers''



Caught out between the cob and the corn
when feeling like our life had just begun
but never knowing which way to turn.
I held you dear close to me
so ‘I’ll be Gone’
played out of the radio
we sucked the pleasure
from each other’s gums.
I flipped the channel
‘Whirlwind’
Broder Daniel’s words
filled our hearts
and bodies
and minds.
I was the calm eye
Your’s the restless whirlwind
in the vast expanse that is The World.
I stepped a dainty step over
the border between us
It is illusory.
There is no boundary between us
that cannot be overcome
can keep our love apart
clutching at our hearts.
We live in
the dry dustbowl of life
snowfields of work and hate.
And I fill it to full to the brim
with our words
and music
and love
and art.
A seed.
This is the only passport we need

I agree, maybe a thread should be made about him, moving there the posts where his end was mentioned (that is, if someone knows how to do it!).

Well it's no surprise to me that, for a lot of young men, the life they have is a bit too tight, too small for them.
In this case movie "success" could be a factor, too. I'm not "blaming" FÅ, and I didn't follow very much the thread about life of the actors after the movie, but now I ask myself: how it could be for all the co-stars, failing to follow up the promise of this early success with a winning career in the following years?
When your 20s are over, you start to reckon with your life...

But maybe his death has nothing to do with it.

Sniff.


I agree with you both.
Perhaps even an "R.I.P. Markus" thread in this topic.

Anyone have any altenatives?

[Ian]

By all means start a thread. I'm loathe to move posts, though, because the last time I tried something like that, I ended up deleting the entire topic accidentally instead.

[fish]

By all means start a thread...

Ok.
Done.

Huge change in Erica's appearance over the last decade or so.


Happens to us all I guess.
Not always for the better.

[fish]

More sort of "Johan then" rather than "Mattias now", but pics of him are bloody hard to find.

[LaHaine]

I guess this topic can have some sad news as well.

Stefan Hörberg passed away suddenly in early December.

Here's an article in Aftonbladet. http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/film/article8281028.ab

And here's a blogg where I first found the news. http://annlundquist.blogg.se/2010/december/han-traffade-jag-i-egypten-for-1000-ar-sen.html



It was all in fun Markus. We'll miss you.

Thats a real sad to hear. HE played Markus really well

[fish]

Indeed he did.

It was very sad to hear of his passing at such a young age.

[fish]

Erica has changed her Facebook profile pic again,
to one we've seen before,
with red hair.

Another "Johan Then" pic.
