Sadness: Father Leaves Copy Of Call Of Duty: World At War For Fallen Soldier Son.

So yeah, this is sad. Private Richard Hunt, the 200th U.K. soldier to die in Afghanistan, was buried over the weekend. He would have been 22 yesterday.

His father Phillip, enjoyed playing Call of Duty: World at War with his son. He left a copy of the game at his grave.

"Happy Birthday 'Hunty'. Play you again one day. Dad."

Wow, that tore me up.

Sadness: Lost iPhone Prototype Drives Chinese Factory Worker To Suicide.

And in a bit of sad news, a Chinese factory worker jumped to his death after losing track of an iPhone prototype he was responsible for shipping to Apple.

The dead worker, Sun Danyong, 25, worked in product communications at Foxconn Technology Group, a Taiwanese firm that makes many Apple products at a massive factory in the southern city of Shenzhen, near Hong Kong.

Sun was responsible for sending iPhone prototypes to Apple, and on July 13 he reported that he was missing one of the 16 fourth-generation units in his possession, the newspaper reported. His friends said company security guards searched his apartment, detained him and beat him, the paper reported.

Apple Inc. responded Wednesday by saying its suppliers are required to treat workers with dignity and respect.

Thanks to Gino, who would have just burned the factory to the ground to cover up the loss. Smart thinking.

To Nelson Nogaro...

R.I.P. Nelson Nogaro (August 4, 1985 - July 18, 2009)

The news.

Drowning shocks family.
Man, 23, found near Wasaga beach.

Relatives of a 23-year-old Toronto man who drowned near Wasaga Beach were too stunned to speak yesterday while police tried to determine the cause of the tragedy.

Nelson Nogaro, 23, was pronounced dead at Collingwood Hospital on Saturday after he was found in the Nottawasaga River at 5:30 p.m. A search started an hour earlier when Nogaro didn't surface from the waters of the river.

"I'm at a loss for words right now, I really don't know what to say," said a devastated family member at Nogaro's North York home.

OPP reported officers were investigating the cause of the drowning, adding there is no evidence of foul play.

My deepest condolences goes to the family and friends of Nelson, I did not meet him at all, but I have friends who did, it's always sad to see someone you love go especially if it's a young person....it is a tragic loss. I'm sure where ever he is, his smiling just like he used to do in all his pictures... I'm so very sorry.
I leave here a poem from one of my favorite tv shows, Six Feet Under.

' I depart as air.
I shake my white locks at the runaway sun,
I bequeath myself to the dirt
To grow from the grass I love.
If you want me again,
Look for me under your boot soles.
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless.
Missing me one place?
Search another.
I stop somewhere,
waiting for you.'

From Six Feet Under 'The Book of Daddy'
