Sjonsson Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) 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.. Edited May 13, 2014 by Sjonsson Quote
PogoP Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Very sad to hear this. I don't think it's a hoax, Sjonsson. What makes you think that? Quote
tomm Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 I was just starting to get more interested in his works and now this, RIP I'm gonna rewatch alien today.. Quote
BJA Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 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. Quote
Sjonsson Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Very sad to hear this. I don't think it's a hoax, Sjonsson. What makes you think that? 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. Quote
Sprony Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 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. Quote
Sentura Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Posted May 13, 2014 Wikipedia updates usually debunk hoaxes immediately: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._R._Giger Quote
FrieChamp Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 A dedication in Alien Isolation = mandatory! knj 1 Quote
Thrik Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 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... Sjonsson and Sentura 2 Quote
