Dude, seriously: you quit being lazy: Naharnet pointed out that he worked at the Bayrak newspaper. Do you ever actually read an article before you hammer Naharnet about it? This is indeed sad, because you were one of the guys that I actually appreciated having around here. But honestly, your credibility just took a nose dive.
Very sad news. my condolences to his relatives & friends.
Life is worth more than money, which is dirty colored, bacteria-infested paper.... I hope it wasn't the true reason.
RIP
