How sad - may he rest in peace now.

Oh no. I feel for his partner and children. He loved geocaching, you could tell that. I'm going to miss him.

Groundspeak have disabled all his caches.
"Pending further guidance from family, this geocache listing has been temporarily disabled by Groundspeak."
That was pretty fast...

OMG, this is such sad news

I have been following his videos for a long time too. The inspiration for a lot of my caches are Sven.'s videos, so this is very sad news.

May he rest in peace

Not a good news story.

Horrible news, he seemed like a nice guy based on the few messages we exchanged.

I hope this has nothing to do with the contents of one of the last videos he posted of himself about a month ago... the rant in the car.

Strange instant reaction from groundspeak too...

May the hiding guidelines in heaven be a little more relaxed, and the GPS signal always perfect. RIP.

I too commented about this in my post. I wouldn't call the GS reaction "strange" as CamBendy did, but I do think GS "temporarily disabled" Sven's caches with unseemly haste (as in one day after the poor guy had passed away).

Yes - the haste - that's how so.

I understand there was a less than cordial relationship between Sven and the local reviewers.
