Regarded as one of the best young artists in gaming.

"There's a video from his parents. To cut it short, Mike was suffering anxiety from stress due to work and being concerned about being quarantined and took a medicine which was it turns out was not suitable and was found collapsed. It is thought to be accidental."

Would be a first that someone that suffered from these things went out accidentally from new meds.

If it really is accidental that is beyond wild.

What this tends to be is an individual taking a pill they bought or got from someone else that ended up being something else.

For example, buying oxycodone, but it ends up being fentanyl.

That is likely what happened.

I saw that earlier but did not know he was only 36. So sad.

Looks like a COVID lockdown death. It won't be recorded as such and we'll never have an accurate number of deaths and other harm these policies caused. Sad.

This type of thing will impact this country far, far longer and to a much larger extent than Covid ever will.

Only 36 and already a hell of designer/artist, and now gone.

Horizon was an amazing, groundbreaking game. The design and gameplay was refreshing, unique and loads of fun. What a major loss to the industry.
