    After signing off last night I went for an early night, only to awoken by the phone ringing after midnight. It was my mum to tell me that her brothers son, my cousin, had died that evening. He was only 20, and at the moment, we have no idea how. He hadn't been feeling great that morning when he woke up for work, so went back to bed. When his sister got in from work she went to check on him, but found him already gone. She called an ambulance, but he was confirmed dead. We now have to wait for a post mortom to find out the cause. The poor darling, I am heart broken. His name was Jonathon Young, we called him Jonny.

    Safe journey Jonny - take care my darling.

    EJ my heart goes out to you and your family at this sad time. Twenty is way too young to die. I hope they can find out the reason for Jonny's passing soon as it will help the family to adjust a bit better. His poor sister must be in a dreadful state after finding him the way she did.
