Our dearest friend, Mike, passed away this past weekend, apparently resulting from his heart condition made worse by the stress he endured first in losing his job, being forced to relocate out here to Idaho and then the housefire that took place 3 weeks ago, forcing him to relocate again.
Details are sketchy at this point, as I am waiting to meet with the police officials handling his case.
Details will be made public once they are available.

Update–Just spoke with the police detective handling the case and the coroner has ruled it natural causes.
A small story appeared in the Coeur D’Alene Press discussing it here

At 55, seems young. Did anyone ever hear him speak about heart problems?
His health issues were pretty well known, and, according to recently released audio, partially the result of his healthcare being cutoff by the AFP.
