    chelsea was a very private person and didn't share details of his life on the MSE forums, or indeed on his Facebook page

    As he's no longer with us, I think it's probably best not to post a link to his personal Facebook account, out of respect to himself and his family

    RIP Ed x

    I wasn't asking for that - I definitely wouldn't intrude on his privacy, even now.

    I had no idea where his sister had posted her message, I just assumed it was on here.

    It's more that as such a well-respected member of the community, people are (understandably) shocked by the news and wanted to know more.

    Pretend I didn't ask.............
