Since the announcement of Linen Lab's CEO Ebbe Altberg yesterday, there have been numerous tributes to him. On the Relay track, someone placed his Linden bear next to a luminary (picture from Trader Whiplash).
At the Linden Memorial Park sim, both Moles, Lindens, and regular residents gathered at the central area as a way of paying respects. The sim was often packed, and people sometimes had to wait to come in.
While the statement from Linden Lab did not mention how Ebbe Altberg died, talking to some people, the cause of death was given as cancer. Ebbe had been sick for some time, and chose not to have anything revealed about it. His last appearance inworld was the retirement party for Oz Linden on February 23. He made no posts on his Twitter since November.
There is a post on the official forums (link).
Patch Linden stated inworld that there will be a memorial for Ebbe Altberg at the Second Life Birthday, and eventually there will be a permanent one inworld. There has been no announcement yet of who the next CEO will be, and there may not be one for days or weeks.
Stay tuned for more information
