If this is true, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I must admit that I am quite sceptical though. Like Zarcon, I cannot find anything on the death of any 'John McGrew' other than an elderly man and that was in April.

Unfortunately, I have experience in this area. I had a member of a social networking site I used to run, commit suicide. There were reports of it available almost immediately by simply Googling his name.

I find it a bit strange that his site doesn't have anything see more about it either. It could be that his family doesn't know how to access it, but it is odd.

Finally, I have never heard of anyone going in for strep throat and being told that it was just to late to treat - having the person die 2 days later. I'm no expert, but I would think the doctors would have been treating him aggressively up until the end - not just "making him comfortable". Doctors will treat a patient with the flesh eating strep right up until they pass, so it seems odd that they would just let John fade away - so to speak.

Maybe someone else has found some information and could share it (??)

I strongly suspect a prank here, but if not - God speed John. May you rest in peace.
