Unhappy Death of the shop owner

Well, it`s a mere news in my country but the local repshop owner who always gave me a lot of usuful advice and information is dead in 24th June.
I have heard that shocking news tonight. One of my friend told me.
But still we don`t know how he died....( The thing is the most important for me. How! he! died!???? Ugh, I cannot sleep!)

I sometimes went to the shop and had a chat with him and I`ve perchased some of animal from there. I used to go there to buy mice and other meals for my animals.

He was intelligent, graduated at very good college, has bred garter snakes, Wood tutle(Glyptemys insculpta) etc.. every year and everybody respected him and his job!! He was a walking dictionary about reps. He published some of books (about lizard&monitors, turtles and snake) and he`s written seasonaly rep magazine.

He was only 32!

aww....that's sad.

A lady i knew who run a shop killed herself. I only knew her through the shop and talking to her at shows but was still a shock. That was about 9 years ago now. Best reptile shop I'd seen as well!

Over here the RSPCA/Reptile Resuce Centres would take in the animals if there was no one to carry on with the business. Hopefully they will be OK!
