    OMG his niece just posted on you tube... He took his own life.

    There was really something mesmerising about that guy not just his handsome and sensitive demeanour. Bloody drink it is such a horrible addiction that makes people think there is no getting away from it.

    My sympathies and thoughts with those who knew him. May he rest in peace.

    Woh, steady on.

    In the obituary for Thomas Lohan on Galwaynews.ie, it says "donations to Cancer Care West". Which suggests that the person died from cancer.

    Be very careful believing any comments on youtube.

    We can't know anything for certain. Be respectful towards him and his family by not speculating.

    Erm, you're speculating that he died of cancer based on very little actual evidence...

    Such a sad thing, my thoughts go out to his family:(

    I said that it SUGGESTS that the Thomas Lohan mentioned in the obituary (not necessarily the same man as in the video) died of cancer. I have not said that he did die of cancer or that the man in the video did.

    I was just pointing out that taking a comment from youtube and believing it as fact is dangerous.

    Can we just stop discussing this altogether? It doesn't feel right.

    A Thomas Bohan from Mayo died on the 11th May. Sure it could be coincidental.

    His name is Thomas Bohan, not Thomas Lohan.

    Plus there's the age difference
    The guy in the video is 41 and the guy in the link is 40

    Nice video :cool:

    That perfectly encapsulates what I would consider to be a work of art. It generated a significant emotional response and the quality of production didn't take away from the subject matter. Seriously well done ;)

    As for the interviewees, WOW!. Every one of us (I'm sure) can relate to some of the responses that feature in the video. However I don't know would I stand in front of camera on the street and talk about it, but I really respect & admire the courage of those that did.

    My biggest regret is being seconds too late to say goodbye to the man that raised me, even though I managed to get as far as his hospital ward. I regret that an awful lot & I miss him terribly :( For my own sanity I try to imagine what he would say to me if he knew I felt the way I did. He'd tell me to STFU and then make tea :)

    If you guys like these, look on youtube, its been done in other cities around the world before, similar music/camera styles, great idea whoever first did it.

    Congrats Kamil, as always fantastic work. Fair play to all at G.C.C.! Did an interview with their film crew before, unreal professional so am not surprised by this at all. Heart-warming to say the least!
