Most IIS folk would be familiar with Ian Musgrave's highly useful 'Astroblogger' web site, normally updated at least weekly:
http://astroblogger.blogspot.com.au/
Because it hadn't been updated for a while, I contacted Ian.
"Dear Dean
My eldest son Jack died suddenly and unexpectedly in Melbourne. I have not updated anything while dealing with this terrible event.
Ian".
I don't think I'm intruding on the family's grief or privacy in posting this message, given a public announcement:

No doubt others on IIS will want to offer condolences.
Truly tragic.
Dean
