The problem is, this is a matter from another
site. If we found that one of the members here
claimed that someone we were used to (and
they were particularly close to) had died, and we
had no reason to suspect otherwise, I think we'd
believe them.
The OP just had to come here to whine about it.
Fair enough, but those of us who were regularly
present, and know the concerned parties somewhat,
probably have a better assessment of the likelihood.
In fact, I don't see one poster here, who had any dealings
with KC, who doubts the story. Pea was simply upset at
the emoness of the whole situation.
