Forwarded from Priest. Ghent, for those that don't know him, was one of the core staff members of Defcon.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you of the passing of a very
dear friend and brother.
Ghent aka Branden Hancock died of injuries sustained in a motorcycle
accident.
At approximately 4 pm PST Sunday the 26th on the way back down to Los
Angeles from Santa Barbara and in the company of two good friends,
Hollywood and War God, he entered into a turn on a local highway and
drifted into the dirt turn off at the side of the road. He attempted to
break and bank back onto the road but was unable to bleed off enough
speed to prevent a loss of control that ended with the bike and himself
going off the road and over the embankment. He fell twenty feet and landed
face down on several large bolders. When Hollywood and War God reached him
he was not breathing and had no pulse. CPR was performed for 25 minutes by
both Hollywood and EMS personnel. At that point EMS declared him dead at
the scene. At this time the actual cause of death is not known but it is
believed based on the trauma observed that death was instant and that he
did not suffer.
He is survived by his mother and younger sister.
Ghent was 26 years old.
At present the family is still working out the details and a subsequent
message will follow regarding services. I am acting as the point of
contact and will pass any messages to the family on and will answer any
questions I can. Messages can be sent to condolences {at} 23 _dot_ org.
Ghent passed with friends and doing something he loved.
