    Do you mean comments similar to the ones your cronies posted a few days ago when they wrongly believed Margaret Thatcher had died?

    Ivan is not only used as a Russian name , used in few other
    Latin Countries rarely......

    Why would he commit suicide?

    Sure 'thunk', we'll show due courtesy for such a tragic case, and express condolences to his family, but just you remember that we do.

    I expect and demand from Argentines similar consideration if such a tragedy occurs to a Brit, or Falklander, whoever they might be.

    A chance to keep your word, lets just see whether you do.

    Let the conspiracies begin! Or was he just another victim of AEA? regardless, it is a tragedy when a young man with such promise to do so much wrong dies. La Campora's rising star! There is much evil yet to come from that group. Pay close attention to your circular history Argentina!

    I have never understanded how can someone commit suicide. I think it is the worst end for a human life. The worst. Poor man, if there is another life after death, i wish he find peace there.

    Maybe he decided to do it in Uruguay so that whatever the reason he did it would not be swept under the carpet like it probably would have been done in Argentina?

    Think - if you go back to the first article on Mercopres when Nestor died you will find that the British contributors (including myself) were highly respectful and dignified with our comments and condolences. I am the same age as this man and I would dred to think what my wife and child would be going through if I happened to die at this young age, especially in such tragic circumstances. Your pre-emptive comment is misplaced as true Brits are renowned for their integrity and respect in such cases.

    God bless this man and his family.

    I doubt this was a suicide. It looks like a “shot across the bow” directed at CFK....

    Funny how think would say that. For all i seem to remember is whenever there is an story like this referring to something British it's plagued with Argentines trolling it.

    In fact i seem to remember a time where a clear majority of this website was rather annoyed at Think himself due to his unwillingness to not troll a story and just clearly insult any memory of it.

    Anyway, my thoughts go to his family.

    It's pathetic and sad to read that some Brits have the misfortune of others. As if your country does not this happen every day by the economic crisis that are happening.
    May God rest his holy glory.

    Raul - which Brits? Which comments? I have yet to spot a disrespectful comment from any Brit.

    Mendejos - reassuring, perhaps... to see that both parts of your split personality are currently functioning - at this rate they may even enjoy Xmas... even though it took you more than three hours to come up with the second part of your answer!

    My respects to Heyn's family

    It's certainly a strange death, but CFK managed to use the poor mans' actions to focus everything on herself by 'fainting' and “requiring 'doctors' attention”.

    Shameful.

    @31 You don't notice much, do you? Actually I spend very little time blogging here or elsewhere because I am gainfully employed using my Doctorate, two Degrees and a couple of Post-Graduate Diplomas. True, I was having a joke at your expense, you troglodyte, but I have no wish, unlike you, to defile this blog, which is basically an obituary to Sr Heyn.

    @33

    So by using your rudimentary way of thinking, what is :“ mora = 2 or more artilleros” , is that about an Obituary to Mr Heyn?? IMBECIL !!!!

    How much are the diplomas where you live Carrizal? pretty cheap , I see. and it took How long to respond?
