Alternative was a mapper in the community around the early 2010s. They mapped many songs of Foreground Eclipse and others, and even got a map ranked. Their maps were awesome in my opinion. This person was a genius. However, this user abruptly stopped playing in March of 2014. As you can see on their me! page, they say they're "Going to die." Has anyone had contact with this user before they apparently died? Does anyone know what happened to this individual, that caused their death?

In osu! it is common for mappers to associate death with leaving the game / changing priorities / etc. See Beomsan and Dank_Memez_101 for recent examples.

I get where you're coming from, but the mentioned users say it implying it is a joke. At altaref's Interests and Occupation, it says "Sorry." This makes it sound like Alternative committed suicide, and is therefore apologizing, but I'd like to think that they either didn't die or died of other causes.

they dont seem to have left any hints so u would probably need to ask around in jp boomer circles to see if anyone was close enough to them to know

Never knew this about Dank Memez of all people, honestly.
