RIP: Adam Ray Finley, Blogger and Internet Writer
Via Mashable comes this sad news from the Des Moines Register:
Authorities in Minneapolis say they used a former Iowan’s iPod to learn his identity after he was struck and killed by a school bus last week. Investigators with the Hennepin (Minn.) County medical examiner’s office say they tried for nearly two days to identify the man, who had only the iPod and some keys in his possession when the accident happened Thursday. With help from Apple employees, they used the digital music player’s serial number to trace the device to Adam Ray Finley, 30, a former Des Moines man who moved to the Twin Cities five years ago. His worried parents, who live in Auburn, had not heard from him for three days. “They didn’t know who he was or where he came from,? his father, Terry Finley said Saturday. “It was a bad enough for a day and a half. I can’t imagine what it would have been like had it been longer.?
Finley was well known as a regular contributor to TV Squad, who posted this special tribute to their colleague today.
Tragic loss.
