I was asked to post this information.

This is the worst kind of note anyone can send.

At around midnight last night, Linus (Serene) passed away of a heart attack.

There hiking the Camino Trail, Linus passed peacefully in his sleep of a suspected heart attack.

As neighbours and friends we felt it important you should be aware.

An autopsy must be completed, then arrangements must be made to ship him home. Schedules for these are not yet known.

We will be in touch when we find out more.

Dave (Linus' son)
My deepest condolences on the loss of your Dad.
