I hate to hear that. He worked hard to get Debian going on the right path. I've used it since the mid 90s it always been the one I fall back to.

Odd, the Docker blog post is gone. Also wondered about the tweets yesterday, but initially wasn't sure if it was a hacked account. Sad news, all the best with his family and the Debian community moving forward.

Something stinks about his death.   Stuff is being covered up.


He had weird tweets / was arrested by police.  Then a day later the guy is dead...  Someone scoured his stuff and deleted things.... something clearly isn't legit.


Guys tend not to drop randomly at 42 when they have good jobs and big net worth.

Is it alleged that he was mentally unwell?  He seemed to be functional and all and working for Docker.  But impossible to know...


Makes no sense for someone to have went and purged things.  Just saying, only raises the scrutiny and rightly.

.. obviously suicide is always a consideration and reason for families to do odd things...  not saying that wasn't the cause. 


Ideally someone is investigating in official capacity.

Did Mr. Murdock ever exhibit any 'issues' pertaining to his mental state prior to what has been reported so far (e.g his death by suicide)? It's naturally very difficult to judge. But if a person acts in a very rational manner, is professional and can produce what is expected of him, then all of a sudden this routine is turned upside down, well, then this is usually some sort of indication that there's something amiss.
The question is, therefore: is there any such irregularities in the writings / comments by Mr. Murdock, or do they keep a professional, rational and logical level on the whole? It'd be interesting to delve deeper into that.


As for my comment earlier about this being sad very sad; I think the saddest part of it all is him leaving the two daughters without their loving father. I cannot imagine how they must feel right now.


Best wishes to you all.

I am a white male, make a lot money, pay a lot of money in taxes, and yet their abuse is equally doned out. DO NOT CROSS THEM!

This was right after the female officer ripped off my underwear.. I guess that's not considered rape if you're not a woman being raped.

The police are uneducated, evil, and sadistic. Do not trust them.

The guy had 4.5k Twitter followers.. alleged police abuse of violent nature... made $1.4 million last year...  plus whatever else in many years prior.


Sorry, but smells like hell. 


Anyone privy to info on why the police were interacting with Mr. Murdock?

Honestly no idea why the police were interacting with Mr. Murdock.  His tweets claim he'd be updating his blog, however no such update ever happened.  It is fairly fishy I will admit.

Correct.  All information suggests he passed on Monday evening.

He was out of his mind drunk pounding on his neighbor's door, and when the police came he drunkenly attacked one of them and got charged for it - that was his side of the story


and looking at his twitter, it all basically caused him to think his life was ruined and have a breakdown

the cops took him to the hospital because he was so fucked up and was probably still threatening to kill himself at that point, a
