My god... RIP!

Freak accidents are so incredibly unfair. It's a testament to the randomness of nature that a healthy person can just be taken from us by no fault of their own.

My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

jeezus D:

rest in peace

Neoxon · Mar 16, 2016

Unfortunate, my thoughts go out to his friends & family. May he rest in peace.

This is crazy, you never know when it could be you. Just out of no where he lost his life. RIP

As someone with terrible death anxiety, it's my way to cope in life. Saying RIP doesn't add anything to this world.

Yeah. I can't imagine what his family is going through.

RIP....Man I don't wanna imagine how freaking traumatizing that's for the daughter....Aaah man, all the strength to his family...

Seriously. Just the other day there were brutal winds in my city, enough to knock down a store's huge ad just as a teacher was passing right underneath...The helplessness is maddening.

Wow this is terrible news

ryan13ts · Mar 16, 2016

Neither does your comment. If you can't say anything nice don't say it at all.

Hard · Mar 16, 2016

Now that's a freak accident if I ever saw one. At least his daughter is OK.

EDIT: Phil got banned? I don't think he was trying to be funny.

RionaaM · Mar 16, 2016

Shit, this is horrible

Oh no that's terrible. My thoughts are with his family.

Rest in peace, Eric.

EDIT: Oh God, his daughter was with him at the time in the back seat. Thankfully she was unharmed, but that's horrifying

Oh god my heart goes out to the family, especially the daughter the poor thing.

Exactly.

RIP.

El Odio · Mar 16, 2016

Jesus, that's a completely terrible way to go. Good to hear that his daughter with him was unharmed but to be there when it happened... man, I can't imagine how she feels.

The Adder · Mar 16, 2016

The wind was fucking insane Sunday. I'd read in the news someone had been killed with his kid in the car. God damn.

Anarky · Mar 16, 2016

Jesus christ how horrible. RIP.

Betty · Mar 16, 2016

His toddler was in the car too but escaped thankfully after a woman pulled her from the car.

Insolitus · Mar 16, 2016

Frightening how something like that can just happen out of nowhere.

RIP

Mechanized · Mar 16, 2016

RIP. What an awful way to go. Do whatever you want in this life to make yourself happy as long as you hurt nobody else. No telling what tomorrow brings.

Seik · Mar 16, 2016

Oh wow, that's terrible.

Thoughts to all those who are affected. RIP

KevinCow · Mar 16, 2016

Holy shit, that's terrible. How old was he?

Gunpei Yokoi's car related death was tragic enough.

But a tree falling on the car is crazy.

Thats horrible! Poor guy

Dark Ninja · Mar 16, 2016

Jesus RIP

Griss · Mar 16, 2016

Hard to comprehend how capricious and cruel fate can be. That's from an outsider's perspective. How his family could possibly deal with this I cannot know.

Rest in peace.

Oh no. That's way too horrible. She is the one that needs support the most, I hope she is attended as needed, because wow! I just can imagine how it could have felt. I just hope she wasn't in any situation in which she would blame herself for what happened.

RIP

Sad after seeing that pic.

J-Skee · Mar 16, 2016

A tree fell on my car before. Luckily, I wasn't in it when it happened. My condolences to the family. This is incredibly sad.

Neoleo2143 · Mar 16, 2016

That's not a way I want to go. No, not gonna think about that.

My condolences to the family, the shock will last, but I hope the child will grow fine.

That was really misplaced. However, he's already gone probably because of that comment.
