Never was I so scared for an alien, RIP

Edit: it may be a silly question, but are you 100% this is not a hoax? Cause I sure hope it is..

Very sad to hear this. I don't think it's a hoax, Sjonsson. What makes you think that?

I was just starting to get more interested in his works and now this, RIP

 

I'm gonna rewatch alien today..

Sad news. I wonder if he did any art in the last years because when you look him up on google, all you find is artwork from the alien movies and that's a long time ago.

A friend of mine said something about a german website claiming it a hoax, but that does happen when a famous person dies. I'm just hoping he'd be alive, love his work. Was trying to get a link from him but he couldn't fint it anymore, so it's probably nothing.

Though I'm not saying he would "fake his death" or something, just that maybe some website might have started it, would be a complete ass-move.

Yeah, it's becoming increasingly more common to fake celebrity deaths. Just Google on Morgan Freeman for instance. Anyway, this is sad. Love his work.

Wikipedia updates usually debunk hoaxes immediately:

A dedication in Alien Isolation = mandatory!

[Thrik]

Yeah seems legit, definitely sad. I studied his work at college, grew a huge appreciation for him then and I haven't even watched the Alien films.

 

Also, is it just me...
