Long question, could his death be a joke? :(?

December 9th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Ok, so back in September, a VERY close pen pal of mine from myspace supposedly passed away at 22 years old, from cancer. His name was Gabriel. The thing is, NOTHING adds up! He lived in Virginia, I live in Maryland, roughly 1 hour away from one another.

This is why nothing adds up. While we were talking for the first 2 months or so, he seemed perfectly fine. We talked pretty much every single day. Then, he suddenly tells me that he’s very sick, like out of the blue, and tells me he has cancer, and that’s he’s on some kind of chemo pills or something like that.

Also, Gabriel never gave me his home address, just the location of a nearby "wawa" that was near his house. His friend Brian, also won’t give me his address. Gabriel both lived near the same area. Gabe lived in Woodbridge VA, Brian lived in Stafford VA. I believe they’re right next to one another.

A few weeks after I found this out, he ended up in the hospital. But he wouldn’t tell me which hospital because he knew I’d try to pay him a visit but he didn’t want me to see him supposedly because "he didn’t want me to see him in that condition."

Then I wanted to send him a get well soon gift, just a CD. So at first he said send it to his mom who will take it to him at the hospital, but then changed his mind and had me send the CD to his best friend Brian’s house for him to take to Gabe. (Brian, who I still keep in touch with, but never met).

This confuses me because after Gabriel passed away, I soon found out from Brian that Gabriel was supposedly at a hospital in Oklahoma which specialized in cancer. Are you trying to tell me that there was NO hospital closer than Oklahoma that specialized in cancer patients!? Gabriel had testicular cancer, however deadly that may be, I don’t know.

I only know of his death because Gabriel made Brian relay all this information to me. I didn’t find out he passed away until like 3 days after it happened. But, the morning I found out at like 4 am was also the same morning that would be Gabriel’s viewing. Brian said he would get back to me in a few hours to let me know where it was so I could be there, but never called supposedly because his mother didn’t know me so she didn’t want me there. Yet, there was supposedly about 120 people at his funeral!

Then he was supposedly cremated! No grave site for me to visit.

I’ve tried looking for death records of him online, for the past 4 months, and still can’t find ANYTHING about a death of a Paxton (his last name) in the Virginia area.

So I’ve been doing research since then. I’ve messaged just about EVERYONE on Gabriel’s myspace friends list, those who lived in Virginia anyway, and everyone said just about the same thing when I asked if they had ever met him, and they said "No, we talked online before, and planned to meet, but never did." He had about 26 people on his myspace. The ONLY person on his myspace that knew him was Brian. How is that not suspicious!?

So I wanted to meet Brian, because it would be comforting for me to be around someone who was also close to Gabriel since it’s harder to lean on my friends shoulders for support when they didn’t even know who he was. But, Brian won’t let me meet him, supposedly because "it’s too hard on him", yet it’s 4 months later! He also uses the excuse that he’s never home because of his job and is always on the road, yet there’s always a few points in time where he is home. And for someone who talks to me almost everyday for 4 months, it’s weird that he doesn’t want me to meet him.

He also lived on his own. AND, his cell kept ringing for WEEKS after he passed away. I kept calling in hopes a loved one would answer, but nobody ever did, How can a phone last that long, even on standby!? And it was an iPhone at that and I hear the battery doesn’t last THAT long on those. After about a month or a month 1/2, his phone did get turned off.

I’m really starting to think that Gabriel and Brian might be the same person, but what do you all think? Please let me know! This is a huge mystery in my life and it’s really bothering me, so please give me some opinions. Thanks!

Sorry for all the reading, but I had to get it all out there.
And now just the other day I told Brian that I wanted him to take a picture of himself pointing to his nose with his middle finger and sticking his tongue out, so that I would be sure that the person in the pictures I’ve seen really is Brian and not some random picture stolen from someones myspace.

And he refused to do such a request, and said that if I didn’t trust him maybe he shouldn’t be talking to me.

Well this story does sound very suspicious, even though sometimes cancer can make some people get very sick in a very short period of time , and some people do leave the state for better cancer treatment there is nothing special about the cancer centers in Oklahoma. They are no Saint Jude or John Hopkins. It sounds like he really has something to hide. Gabriel and Brian are probably the same person. Gabriel may not be his real name either, there is business in VA called Gabriel and Paxton. I would be more suspicious of the ‘two’. Its probably some scam or someone who is bored with their life

    Sounds like a bit of a scam to me…idk if theyre the same person, but something fishy is defiently going on…i’d say purposly lose contact with brian, and dont be surprised if garbriel turns up sometime in the future and says oh, i’m alive, idk what your talking about, etc.

    lol i read your same question earlier today… but my comp froze and i didn’t reply. anyway my point is that Gabriel and Brian probably are the same person, it all is just too complicated, could be just a stupid guy pulling a very slack prank ive heard of similar things happening to a lot of people.

    I think that Gabriel and Brian are the same person. This seems very suspicious. Why would he not know anyone else on myspace? You should be able to find an obituary in the local paper around this supposed death. Have you checked all the local papers?

    God this is crazy. I don’t know. Definitely dodgy. There’s something up. Maybe he really is dead, but there was something you didn’t know about him he didn’t want you to find out.

    Yeah I would say that they are the same person. I also suggest that you don’t have anything to do with Brian. You have to be careful getting to know someone like that. There are to many crazy people out there. Be careful!

    Are you sure he did not live in West Virginia? A Gabriel Paxton Heater of near that age is shown applying for a marriage license in November. I would find it hard to believe that the name is that common. Do more checks for a person of that name.

    I do agree the whole Gabe and Brian deal is suspicious. Gabe may not be Brian……Brian may be Gabe.

    I noticed that you are gay in another question. Possibly this is someone who is in the closet or afraid of his families finding out or really not gay and just experimenting or messing with you
