Yeah, I believe he did die. From what I understand he was mentally ill and lead a fairly troubled life. Watching his walkthrough of TempleOS is pretty fascinating. And for those who didn't get the reference: [VIDEO]
For anyone who didn't get the reference it's a claim the author of TempleOS used to make of himself. [VIDEO]
Obligatory Temple OS unhinged video. [VIDEO] Joking apart, the whole thing was both an exercise in madness and genius. Sometimes I wonder what he would have done if he had not gone crazy. We will never know...
