A Polish colleague has died accidentally. Please see the link below. The article is in Polish, the only one I could find. Sorry to hear these things.

Like Andy, I used Google Translate to get the gist of the article in English, but also confirmed the result with E-Sylum contributor Gosia Fort, a native of Poland. Thanks! Apparently ...
