I don't know if he is dead yet.. im watching his school website and trying to find a newspaper local to him, but my mates Hebrew is a little rusty, but we havn't found anything yet..
I was trying to search for international news to try to find the same thing, to no avail. It'd be nice if you had links to his school page or wherever you're searching. If you're not comfortable posting them here, maybe you could put them in the forums.

a lot of stuff
Well, all you said checks out. I'm actually a bit scared on how much research you were able to pull... I'd put you on stalker level if you weren't dealing with him before in the Abusive Reviews thread... :-)
Either way, I'm not satisfied that yoshi is being truthful and don't feel he'll fit in here. Most of his posts are one-liners and are spamlike, and his response alone told me all I needed to know about his character. I'm pulling rank and not allowing him in the Barracks. I don't think anyone has a problem with this, but if you do, feel free to PM me.

Phantom:
I'm not counting him out yet. I believe that he would do it, but I don't think that he did it. Although I'm not going wait for any news too soon. I do still have hope he's alive; like Eagle (kind of) said, Phantom might have been stopped and put in isolation.
Agreed. I was talking with PossiblePancakes about this. Let's picture the situation: It's 1AM in Israel, he's drunk, and he's going out to a field to commit suicide. First off, he can't drive (since he said he was drunk), so he'd be walking out to a field with tons of medication and walking alone. The chance of someone seeing him and calling the cops is not small. Also, like Viper just said, your body will try to reject the pills and vomit.
Ugh, I hate having to think up scenarios about this, and I'm certainly not trying to paint a mosaic of hopeless reasons to hang onto the thought of him being still alive, but I feel like one too many things could have "gone wrong" and it isn't pure speculation in saying he could still be alive. I think it's hard for all of us that knew him well to deal with this, and I'm not going to pretend like it's not affecting me in a big way.
At this point, though, rather than speculating and keeping on trying to think up how this is working, I think it's safe to say he really meant to try to do the act, but we can't be sure whether he failed or succeeded. We should keep trying to find news (especially from WickedWizard's sources) and see if we hear anything. Like I said, if we are going to hear news, it'll be either really soon or at some point in the indiscriminate future. So let's just cross our fingers and hope for the best.
