Shocking news.
Someone I've followed on YouTube for a while.

Indeed, but it wouldn't be the first time. No matter how many times I follow the thread, it ends with no verifiable source. Like, I'm sure Alyn's family wouldn't make a point of contacting Nigel Danson before issuing a press release or obituary.I heard about this from Nigel Danson's Facebook post.
This is all I know.
If it's a hoax there are some sick people in the world.
I found out about it from Mick Ryan's Instagram page, Mick runs Fotovue which published Alyn's book. I think the chances of this being a hoax are sadly pretty slim.I heard about this from Nigel Danson's Facebook post.

I am deeply shocked... I have a signed copy of Alyn's book, photographing the night sky, which is encyclopaedic in its scope and he was a great source of inspiration to me.
There appears to be no reports as to how or why this could happen to such a young man.
Are we absolutely sure that this isn't some silly hoax because I'm struggling to find what I would regard as a trustworthy or verifiable source for this news?
Thanks. Yes, sadly, I'd say that looks like a verifiable source.I found out about it from Mick Ryan's Instagram page, Mick runs Fotovue which published Alyn's book. I think the chances of this being a hoax are sadly pretty slim.
Rest in Peace Alyn.
Alyns been ill for some time, I'm not sure I should discuss details but sadly I'm told it's true that he's passed away. He will be missed and Youtube will be lesser for his passing.I am deeply shocked...

Alyn's book from Fotovue is superb, a real magnum opus that will be one of his legacies.
. I Wonder what happened.
He seemed to be so happy starting a new life in Turkey.He'd been ill since 2021.

Alyn discusses his health issues in this blog he posted some time back...
Chasing Comet Leonard in Tenerife
With 2021 drawing to a close I was reflecting on how little photography I was able to do the past year. At the same time, plans to celebrate New Year’s Eve were crumbling as all my friends began coming down with covid. I’d yet to photograph Comet Leonard and it was no longer visible from the UK so aalynwallacephotography.com
Thanks very much for posting Mick. I didn't know Alyn, though I felt like I did through his work, which I highly valued and appreciated. You could just tell he was a genuinely decent guy, and I know he'll be sadly missed.Like many I am absolutely devastated by Alyn's death. He was a friend as well as one of the best authors I work with. I will be writing an obituary in due course.
Best to you all.
Mick
