AoMH, and the entire game-community has to deal with a great loss. Shiva, who has been the seraph here since Sunny's departure, was found dead not too long ago.
Please show your respect to one of the finest staff-members of HG, and give your condolances to his family and friends.
You will be missed very much, Shiva
UPDATE:
There's a second link which features quotes from forumers (some by name, some not), and provides a little more information.
Shiva's sister emailed me about it, and I've passed the message on to the entire staff. Rest in peace, Shiva, and all the best to your family. You were a great guy and an excellent Seraph.

This is a terrible event.
Shiva was not only a long-time responsible and dedicated HG staff member. He was the best friend one could have. There's not much I can say at the moment, but my thoughts go to him and his family.
Rest in peace, Shiva. May the gods bless you, your family and friends.

Although I never got to know him, Shiva was a truly experienced and dedicated designer. His tragic death is truly a loss to the designing community, along with FlipBizcut; and so I am truly affected by his passing.
I was in this community long enough to see him progress from Cherub to Seraph, and he has truly shown great dedication to not only HG, AoMH in general. I remember his posts in the Strategy Discussion board. I remember him.
Rest in peace Shiva, you're memory will live on.

These are really sad news. I hereby want to give my condolences to his sister and his family. Two losses of family members in such a short time - this is a very hard strike. Shiva was a very nice and friendly Age fan and HG staff member, I met a few times in the HG forums. We will seriously miss him. But, life must go on and will go on ... sad to say. Yours sincerely, M0nTy_PyTh0n.

Goodbye, Shiva. You were a great person and I looked up to you in many ways.
Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? Your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning?

oh my god...RIP Shiva. His name means so much to us. It's everywhere... This is truly saddening. Let's try and hold strong. It's sad, but...we must try and stay strong. For his sake. I'm sure he's peaceful in a brighter realm. He brought happiness to us all. I didn't know him that well, but I spoke to him a few times off-HG and on-HG.

I'm not from AoMH, and I really never knew him, but having him appear on that one web page just makes me feel horrible.
May he be at peace in heaven.
