He still hasn't logged into his youtube since his site's been down. But I got this email on my site from a guy who has been insistant that this is a hoax. I think he's the one who got the site and blog shut down. Notice the urls of the guy "Dean" though. It is NOT the same guy. Not even close. I'd love to know if he got nabbed yet or if they thought to get his info from his site host at least. I would think this would be worth that effort at this point. Taking his site down was not the answer in my opinion. Surfers did that, not police.
Either way... if it's a hoax or a joke, he seriously needs help and I hope he gets nabbed. Here's what he sent me:
"Hi Niccole,
Found your site through Google. I want you to know that the 30daystodeath blog is fake. It?s a prank by a Belgium group called ?IPower? to raise awareness about suicide prevention.
The author of the blog goes by the name ?Dean.? Here he is on his youtube channel:

Here is their previous ?suicide prank? from last year:

Not sure what to think about all of this - it?s important to raise awareness, but this is quite an awful thing that they are doing because it makes so many people upset. I hope this helps not to worry about the blog?s author or his family.
Also, sorry about your loss."
I'll ask the lady who called originally because she gave the cops her number and they have called her back twice. The cops do have his picture from his vids and have him labeled a suicide alert if they run across him but I don't think they're making any effort to actually find him.
