The Life and Death of Jonathan Rees

When Jonathan Rees died in November 2008, almost nobody noticed. Jonathan Rees had been in the news because he was a candidate for Ward 3 City Council (garnering only 24 votes). But Jonathan Rees was a lot more than just a failed political candidate. Jonathan Rees was evil and smart, and he knew how to wield the Internet to deceive and hurt people. Rees died of lung cancer. During his dying days, Rees was kicked off a lung cancer support forum. I don't know what he said to have been exiled from an online cancer community, but it wouldn't have surprised anyone who knew Rees that he was removed from such a group.
