^^^^^ It probably happened between 13:30 & 09:00. His friend went to the room at 09:00 1st & 16:30 the 2nd time. Never heard of the "Hav Mony Hotel" on 148. RIP. ps: It must've been the Harmony Hotel. High class for an OD.

Fair enough.

RIP.

Should be a warning to everyone. There seems to be a dodgy batch of something going around.

There also seems to be an increase in these types of deaths lately or is it they are just reporting them more than before?

And if anyone is interested, this is probably the best article which describes the relationship between Anton Cavka, Judd Reid and Norm Schriever:

100-Man Fight Tells the Story of Judd Reid and the Real Life Kumite

Every once in a great while a story comes along that defies our collective imagination, forcing us to recalibrate the limits of the human condition. The tale of Judd Reid is such a story. To get to the root of its telling we can't start with him holding up his arm in victory at a secret dojo in Osaka, utterly exhausted and physically broken but elated after becoming one of just a handful of people to get through the 100-man kumite, where he fought 100 black belts consecutively in bare-knuckled matches. Nor can we go back to Judd being handed the World Championship of Karate belt in 2010 on a flashbulb-lit stage in Japan, finally at the top of the martial arts mountain after struggling with 2nd and 3rd place finishes for years. Judd's story doesn't even start when he was hand picked by the founder of Kyushin karate, Sosai Mas Oyama, for 1,000 days of the world's most intensive and clandestine karate training, the "uchi deshi" Spartan living program in Tokyo in the early 1990's, becoming one of only two foreigners to ever graduate.

To truly witness the beating heart of the Judd Reid story we must zoom back 25 years to a chicken-legged Australian teenager with a preppy haircut back in Melbourne, Australia, obsessed with Bruce Lee movies and newly introduced to karate by instructor Shihan Eddie Emin. Spanning back through those decades, we first catch a glimpse of what led Judd to accomplish one of the most difficult tests of strength, skill, and mental determination in the history of athletic achievement. It's something in his eyes -- a glint of pugnacious resolve alarming in its intensity, oceans of belief that led him to the most rarified air of martial arts.....

RIP means Rest in Peace. This thread is over 3 years old, can't you leave it be if you have nothing new to add.
This is the third thread in a row that you've bumped up to leave banal comments about people who have died. :please:
