It is fine to report the death of a rider, but take note of the site rules in doing so. It is totally unacceptable to be disrespectful and malicious speculation. That happened this morning so I remind you all of the site rules regarding death. The moderating team DO NOT take it lightly when these rules are broken - be prepared if you decide to go out of your way to do so.
