It is with tremendous sadness that I inform everyone Malcolm has passed away.
The details are slow in coming but what we know is that he died on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 sometime in the afternoon.
Police are still attempting to contact family members so if anyone knows how to contact Malcolm's relatives, either in Ontario, Canada or in Manchester, England please have them contact Peel Regional Police in Mississauga Ontario, or the Toronto Police Services directly; or through their local authorities.
I promise that as things calm down and we absorb this devasting news that more information will be posted here, but I felt it important to let everyone know what we could.
Those who have been advised already are grieving each in their own way at the loss of this very special man. I hope each of you find solace in your memories of encounters with him, in person and through these channels. We at Titan shall miss him terribly.
Take care everyone. I am sorry to be the bearer of this sad news.
Gary Davidson

I've been advised that some information is apparently starting to come in relating to Malcolm's relatives but people attempting to help are being frustrated by a problem I believe I've identified. MALCOLM XERXES was his stage name. I don't think that should come as any surprise to anyone, he was an Actor, it's a common practice. Many of us accepted him as that and never considered there would come a time when we would need to know his real name.
He had two other names. One was his birth name, the other his adoptive name. I cannot tell you which was which but the name on his driver's license was IAN MALCOLM.
I have also heard that his first name might have been Arthur and his last name might have begun with a "G". I believe this would've been his biological name because he rejected many elements of that life.
If you have information about his adoptive parents in Manchester, England; or his biological parents from Jamaica; or his biological siblings in the Greater Toronto Area AND you wish to communite them to the Police, you will need to the use the name IAN MALCOLM.
This is the name he had on his driver's license, as that is the only name they will know him by.
Also, apparently some people have communicated to me that the switchboard at the Police is having a hard time knowing which of the many officers to connect you with.
Although the case may now be in someone else's hands the Peel Regional (Missisauga) Police officer whose card I have identifies him as Constable M. McKenzie #2272.
I hope this helps. The sooner Malcolm's family can be reached the sooner his estate can be settled and their grieving can occur. Understand that everyone who can, is doing everything on the other side of this story that is possible and only time will tell there. Thank you, and please withhold your judgements until the investigation is done as speculation isn't helping anyone.

From Desdemona To her OThello
Beneath a pregnant and bright moon The blood calls I awake hungry My mind blooms with thought and want of you The grave, the ground, From the emptiness I am finally released
I step from my tomb It is you, my love, my dark one I seek The streets are cold And yet I am colder still The hunger coursing through my system You in my arms is my one thrill
The look in your eyes The sight and feel of you undone Your will succumbing to mine Within my embrace There is no such thing as time
Just hunger And the want to feed Your want to feed me So that I may in turn feed you Approaching your door This is all I wish to do
But why are the lights off? Why is your door locked? Where did my dark prince go? Can’t you feel me here? Knowing I want and need nothing
But you here Here with me The hope of happy is all but gone In my heart – the one that beats just for you I know something is wrong
Death came for you already Took you far too soon Offering nothing in return I am too late You are lost Both burned by the cruel hands of fate and time
Heaven has taken you Only the memories, the want, the need are mine Broken I return to my tomb unfed For I to now long for a most permanent death
Close and seal the door Lock this coffin’s lid I wished for love and life If you were going to be its one gift.
Close my eyes Stop my heart Release my soul Your love was the only one I wished to know.
Last breath taken Undone and Broken I, your vampires, Surrenders and let’s go Sadly death comes for me far too slow. ~dbh~
You shall live in my heart ~ always.
I so wish you and I would have had more time...

Some news on MALCOLM'S MEMORIAL this Saturday (Sept 24, 2005). The service will include a time for musical offerings. This will be a chance for any in attendance who have a piece of music they feel best reflects their common musical passion with Malcolm to share that with the rest of us. I don't know that we'll be playing all of each cut, but if you wish please bring the CD with you to the service 2pm Saturday Sept 24, 2005 at TRINITY PORT CREDIT. Thank you and take care, Gary Davidson

Otherwise even broad strokes of the event will help. I think some people just need to know that things are happening. And of course if you choose not, for whatever reasons, then that's good as well. Take care!

There is nothing but speculation and piece meal information on the various bulletin boards. The details are being released only to family and unless they choose to share the rest of us will only have questions. The only thing we know for sure is that at around 4:10pm on Tuesday Sept 13, 2005 Ian Antony Malcolm Xerxes shot himself on the pier in Port Credit Harbour and fell into the water. I wish we could say more than that but we've heard so many different versions of the other events from so many different sources, each claiming they know the story, that we've been forced to conclude no one really knows any thing. The fact that the investigation remains ongoing proves even the Police do not know everything yet. The suicide of someone you care for or knew is never easy to understand so please ensure you are talking with people about your feelings and loss and if necessary (that meaning you find yourself dwelling on it) seek out grief counselling. Take care

Wow. I've been lurking around on this site pretty much since day one and have never posted. After hearing this news I felt I should end my silence and express my shock. How devastating. My thoughts are with all those who grieve his loss.
