There is additional proof, from his sister's Facebook page, but I'm not sure I want to link it here because it seems rude to link his family's pages to random people. Is there a moderator here whose email address I can message with the proof?

You can email the mods at [e-mail].

Though Wikipedia already has such a link confirming it. I don't think you need to prove it.

Edit: Or did. I can't find it now. I was sure there was a really short page for him on Wikipedia when I looked the other day. At the moment, he only appears on their disambiguation page without a page of his own. It also shows a death year of 2018.

Odd, I thought I remembered reading it about two days ago too...

FWIW, I was always impressed how you looked out for Terry on HN.

It's a pity we never could be inclusive enough to take someone in who clearly needed a bit of support. Terry definitely was a troubled person, there is zero doubt about that but if you looked past the sillyness (which I understand is hard in an environment that puts great value on political correctness) he was a really nice guy with some surprising quirks and a good sense of humor. On off days he was not so nice. Nobody's perfect.

Taking a shot at people with whom you disagree undermines your message. What might have been thoughtful is now a diatribe based on a stereotype.

Try [e-mail], it's actively monitored by the moderators.

Maybe this will live on as a "Terry's death was never confirmed" (Andy Kaufman style). Would be a pretty cool way to memorialize him. Not sure if that would affect his family negatively though.
