The announcement for his passing was made a few minutes ago by three members of the Debian Project, Ana Guerrero Lopez, Donald Norwood and Paul Tagliamonte, who wrote some very nice words about their leader, but not sharing any details about his death. It would also appear the Mr. Murdock’s Twitter account was closed today.
