Your intentions were probably honourable but please keep in mind that many of us have friends in town and like me may be quite startled by such news and not sure of whom you speak. I've just spent the last 30 minutes trying to track down a S/O mate trying to make sure he was OK. He is but my point is that until the details have been released publicly by family/friends/company then such posts as yours can cause quite a lot of distress.
