We’re all unsure if this is a hoax or not because of the timing of it all. But this message came from Waryas’s friend yesterday:

Bonjour, Hello,
Je me permet de coller ceci a tous les amis de Waryas (Ya Mansure) a partir de son ordinateur:
C’est dans la matinee du 31 mars 2009 et dans un immense chagrin que
Waryas nous a quitter pour un monde meilleur.
La cause du deces est du a une hemoragie interne provoque par son accident de moto
ce week-end alors qu’il rentrait d’une soiree.
Veuillez passez la nouvelle a tous ses contacts, merci.
Que dieu vous garde.

A brief translation is Waryas has succumbed to injuries and passed away from internal hemorrhaging on March 31 2009 after a motorcycle accident while returning from a party on the weekend. Please pass on the news.

I really find this hard to believe, but if it’s true, he will be greatly missed. He’s one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing, albeit only through the Internet. He was a proud man, but diligent and strong-willed. If you’ve played Gunz before and used the anti-crash hack, Waryas was the one who coded that. One of his proudest achievements. He’s done a lot for the fansubbing and Gunz community in his short life. He was only 20.

I’m quite lost for words, but for the rest of us, life must go on as it always had. I really do hope he’s playing a joke on us, but I have a feeling that this is real.

Thank you for everything, Waryas. RIP.

    I’m unsure what to believe but it’s always sad when someone dies. If he’s just decided to leave subbing forever and took this story to “escape” then I wish him all the best after this.

    I’ll look forward to the new series, I am crossing my fingers that someone wants to sub Anne as well 😛

    That is very unfortunate.
    But, well… Everyone dies.
    Still sad though.

    I never had a friend die on me, but losing a close person is hard to bare. I think you guys should take a break if you guys not feeling well.

    My condolences and prayers to Waryas. I wish him the forgiveness of peace and rest. Maybe you guys can dedicate your next release in his memory so that the one who have often downloaded through his effort may remember him.

    Sorry to hear that. I’ve always enjoyed m33w’s work, and from what you say, he was one of the instrumental reasons why it was available to everyone. I wish his family the best, he will be missed.

    Everything always comes so quickly, I’m sorry for such a great loss of the community and his family. It just makes April Fools day seem like that much un-enjoyable.

    Man, I’m sorry to hear that. It’d be nice if it weren’t true, but I suppose that’s just wishful thinking. RIP, Waryas. You will be missed. My condolences to the family.

    Ironically, in my Driver’s Ed class yesterday, we talked about motorcycles, how to get the endorsement, and accidents and stuff. Made me feel seriously creeped out when I read this today.
