Trying to make an old phrase relevant.

America is so far head that it's already retro.

prob not the best place for it to be fair.

That's awful.

It's odd because in a way it actually communicates his intended message, i.e. how dangerous sleeping 'rough' is.

RIP.

It shows how dangerous central heating is, turn your thermostats down to 19 nobody needs to be any warmer than that.

I don't think his intention was to die, wow. When 'Cathy come home' was written and shown on TV the public were so saddened and affected it led to the charity 'shelter' being formed... no such sympathies here I see.

I know he didn't set out to die, but he must have followed some very poor advice as to how to tackle this issue, ill equipped and ill prepared he must have set off on his own ( no camera crew) with no real idea or understanding of the dangers of exposure in this current unseasonally cold weather.

It is tragic that he lost his life in this fashion.... I hope it sends out a message to the homeless community at large of the dangers of not keeping warm, and to the Govt and councils that more hostel space is needed to help vulnerable homeless people who are in this position night after night after night.
