*******************************/2010/04/11/eog-founder-wife-reported-dead/
EOG founder Ken Weitzner and his wife Scarlett have been reported to have died yesterday in a tragic accident. Ken was also the creator of the popular forum TheRx and was a pioneer in the offshore gambling community.
Ken’s last post on The EOG read:
My wife and I will be going away for a trip. While we are gone, I have asked mofome to be in charge of the day to day operations of EOG….
I know it’s the start of the slow season for many, including Yours Truly…
I won’t be posting while we are gone…
It seems like EOG keeps getting better each day with so many new posters adding to the wealth of information that we already have from our old-timers..
It’s nice to know I can leave with people like Blondie, Ballwonder, Jimmy Hoffa, and diogee, amongst others to help out…
I feel like this place has always been a second home for me because of ALL OF YOU…
Thanks from the bottom of my heart….
I am grateful to be a part of this Family and for all the support,
P.S.
1 down and 2 to go baby…
Now let’s win the remaining 2 Baseball games I gave out on WW, so I can start out with a nice winning record in Baseball!!
Ken

WAYNESVILLE — Police here have opened a criminal investigation after two bodies were found at a residence early Saturday.
Few details were available as of late Saturday. Waynesville police chief Bill Hollingsed said police were still trying to notify next of kin and more information would be released Sunday afternoon.
The bodies were found about 12:45 a.m. at a residence on Intrepid Drive, Hollingsed said.
“We’re investigating it as involving foul play,” he said.

RIP. This is simply tragic. I will not begin to speculate but houses do not just randomly blow up. Will wait and see out of respect for the family.
EDIT:
More reason to believe we really know nothing at this point.

could an explosion at their home be murder?Comment -
ASHEVILLE — An explosion that rocked an East Asheville neighborhood destroyed a vacant house and sent debris into neighboring homes.
Marjorie Styles was peeling apples in her Pleasant Ridge Drive home Saturday afternoon when she heard the explosion. The blast knocked the knife out of her hand.
“It was horrendous. My windows shook and the floor was shaking,” said Styles, who lives directly across the street from the house destroyed by the explosion. “Flames were shooting out and there was black smoke. I immediately grabbed the phone and called 911.”
Firefighters responded about 3:35 p.m. to the explosion at 13 Pleasant Ridge Drive. The cause of the blast remains under investigation. No one was at the house at the time and there were no firefighters injured.
“The house is supposed to be vacant right now,” Asheville-Buncombe Arson Task Force director Buddy Thompson said at the scene. “The gentleman that has the house now, his mother died about a month ago, so they were cleaning the house out.”
It’s not known exactly the last time someone was in the house, Asheville Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Dan Flinn said.
“Last time (neighbors) said they saw somebody was maybe two weeks ago,” Flinn said.
It appeared the house bad both propane and natural gas sources. Flinn said it wasn’t known if those lines were turned off before the blast, but crews made sure the lines were turned off after the explosion.
The roofs of nearby homes were littered with debris, and the adjacent house had its siding pierced with debris thrown by the blast. Shattered glass covered the street.
Styles has lived on Pleasant Ridge Drive for about 50 years. She said Hazel Norman lived in the house that exploded for about the same amount of time until she died last month.
“It was a beautiful place and I’m glad Ms. Norman didn’t have to see it like this because she loved it,” Styles said.
Susan Bates was working in her yard about a half mile away when the blast happened.
“It was really loud,” Bates said. “It was a huge explosion and then the ground shook.”Comment -
Weitzner, who resides in Chesapeake, Virginia, has not been the subject of any news reports out of that region as of Saturday night.
Did a search on news from Chesapeake area and didn't see anything mentioned?
Strange report from Gambling 911 but as someone mentioned they were not friends of Ken!
God rest their souls and give all, the strenght during this time grief........Comment -
sad news talk to ken many times, he was always a kind and helpful guy. RIPComment -
Gambling911, Do you have to smear Ken's name while his corpse is still warm? We know, you hate the man and are probably high-fiving strangers.Comment -

truly sadComment -
Well it had to be one of two things
An accident or a suicideComment -
Honestly dont know what to say at the moment..totally stunned at the moment. Ken was a good man, didn't always agree with some of his self created forum drama, but personally had no problems with him. Forumland just isn't gone to be the same without him and the industry has lost another great person. May both he and his wife RIP.Comment
