Update:
Eric, Unfortunately, didn't go quickly and may have suffered for some time.
The word that I originally got, was that he was D.O.A. Tuns out that he was unconcious and had massive internal head injuries. The did surgery to release the pressure, and they used drugs to induce coma, but he finally passed this morning. In a sense it's probably better for hiom and his family, because if he had lived, he would've been a wheelchair bound vegtable. This would've prolonged everyone's anguish. It's all over now and everybody can have closeure. He was a great guy and a good friend and co-worker. May he finally rest in peace.
