I'm sorry to be the one to have to break this to you all, but it was announced late last on OcUK that Pyro took his own life last night. :(

Conscript death
A 23-year-old army conscript was found dead in the early hours yesterday after he apparently shot himself with his service rifle, armed forces officials said. The officials said that the cause of the young man’s death was being investigated. Similar deaths in the past have been attributed to suicide.
RIP mate :(
Such awful news. Really shocking. He always seemed so full of mischief. I remember telling him off at the Leeds meet for continually trying to get cleavage shots.
I'll miss his daft sense of humour. RIP.
I was shocked when i read this earlier :(
RIP

Normally I wouldn't post from 1 forum to another, but I know a lot of our members knew him yet don't visit OcUK anymore. I am glad one of his friends came on to let us all know though. He will be missed :(

Christ, I never met him, always wanted to, last I know he was working in Leeds behind a bar? Didn't realise he'd joined the army :(
What a terrible shame :(

I had to check the gallery, I knew his name but didnt know his face :(
How awful :(
Saw him posting very recently. Can't quite believe it.
Ah no... Pyro always seemed a top bloke :(

Pyro at his best, and personally how I'll remember him.
Aye, saw this this morning. Met him at the Leeds meet a few years back and he was a good laugh. Will always remember him standing at the bar with those two girls holding a couple of dildo's ;D
There's a pic of that too :D

it was part of his National Service. mandatory for at least 12 months. something most Greeks i know really don't look forward to.
trully gutted here.
My immediate thought was WTF?! :(
So very sad... never spoke to him but was aware of him on OCUK
RIP

That is bad news. Pyro was such a laugh - kept us in stitches at my first meet at Leeds.
Never spoke to him or knew him, but still feel bad :(
Cant believe it, he was an ace bloke, really full of life when I met him, admittedly a long time ago.
Gobsmacked.
:( He and I chatted nearly every day until about 3/4 months ago where I have hardly been able to get in touch. I can't believe it - I'm devastated. Furthermore I lost his number so I didn't even have the opportunity to chat to him in the past couple of months. :(
*sigh* That's the 3rd person this year that I know that's died... I really can't cope with this anymore.
stunned :( rest in peace fella
Really terrible news :(
RIP.

That is shocking and sad :( admitedly I dont think I talked to him but I do remember his posts on Ocuk and him being a good guy.
I remember him posting on OcUK and I think I remember him saying about the conscript now you mention it. Damn that's tough to take :(

R.I.P Pyro.
Never really spoke to him, but it sounds like he was a great guy.
I met him once when he, Spudnik, Davey and I went out for a meal and bowling in Leeds a few years ago, he was a really nice guy. Always fascinated by firearms and guns and was looking for a way to get ownership. This makes me wonder if it was on his mind for a while.
Such a shame and a loss.

This really shocked me when I read it the other night. It's a terrible shame, he was one of the good ones. A really great guy. RIP Apostolis :(

It is so sad.

I thought I had posted in here :/
I was really sad and shocked when I heard the news, met him at the Leeds meet and he was a really lovely and bubbly chap - seemed full of life and fun.
Seems really hard to imagine not only was he having problems but that he was so in despair he felt he had no way out :(
Very sad indeed - RIP :(
Bit concerned about what the OP over there has posted about there being a lot of shootings over there attributed to suicide but no evidence found.
Given that I find it very very hard to believe that he was in a state to do that to himself, it's very worrying :(
Either way, he's in a better place now and I just hope he is happy.
I've only just found out :(
Before my internet at home dissapeared, I used to speak to Pyro a lot on msn. He was always so happy and bouncy, which always came across in the conversations we had.
And when I was thinking about having, and then did have some piercings done a few years ago, he gave me some advice, and pointed me in the right direction to find out stuff about piercings.
This has knocked me for 6, the lad I met in Leeds, and then spent all those hours talking to on msn just seemed so full of life and had a real passion for enjoying himself.
RIP my friend :(
