    For the past 5-6 years he was posting photos of a male model, and claiming that it was him. He would also usually post pictures of this person in underware and encourage other male members of TWC to pose in underware too.

    He claimed he was gay and had a boyfriend called Ian, no big deal there, however the model in question is straight and is a public figure, in a small way, but still somewhat famous in certain circles. It was brought to TWC attention on a number of occasions that this might result in slander and possible legal action. It could well be ID fraud.

    His other accounts on other forums were active on 27th when we was supposed to have passed away on the 25th. The 'news' was broken by his 'brother' just hours after. Of cource these accounts may have been accessed by someone else.

    His photos were taken off of TWC just a couple of days after his death when someone brought it to the attention of the forum staff, again. This time they finally took his images off.

    can anyone gave a light here and give a photo about how "the model in question" looks like?

    I start to feel real pity for Tony if the real case is he just actually the model in question's lookalike and not really imitating him on purpose

    They dont look anything like each other, as was confirmed by his brother and forum members who had met him in person. He was living the life of someone else online, which many people will do, expect he done it over a period of 5 or so years at TWC.

    ugh, and just look for real photo collections myself, well...
    Still, he's among the best modders over here, his skinning details was awesome, and RTRVII is still among the most polished mods outta here.

    If you ever seen the photos tony had posted claiming to be him, then thats what the model in question looks like.

    Yeah he was a very talented person. He will be missed.
