Nearly posted this myself the other day. I was reading about fractals including the Mandelbrot set the day before he died, then the next day it pops up he's dead.

RIP fractal dude.

Yeah I posted this on another forum a few days ago but didn't think it would be of interest to many here.

RIP genius fractal dude.
