In a tragic turn of events, Jason "Shroud" Walters, husband of Saundra (Sometimes Ericah) Walters succumbed today to a previously unknown strain of hemorraghic fever. The disease, now being called "Shroud's Flu" in the science community, works much like the Ebola virus, liquifying internal organs and causing death by massive hemmoraging. Long absent from alt.vampyres, his death is believed to be part of the mysterious "Curse of Alt.Vampyres" plaguing the IRC channel in recent days.
