Ravi Srinivasan, TIFF programmer dies suddenly, age 37.

The Globe and Mail: Ravi Srinivasan, TIFF programmer and ‘champion’ of Canadian film community, dies at 37.

Ravi Srinivasan, senior manager of festival programming for the Toronto International Film Festival and a “champion” of the Canadian film community, has died at age 37.

“We are saddened and shocked to learn of the sudden passing of our colleague and friend Ravi Srinivasan. As a programmer, champion for filmmakers, and director of his own hometown film festival in Sarnia, Ravi was known to many for his passion, his generosity and the joy he brought to cinema,” Cameron Bailey, chief executive of TIFF, said in a statement late Sunday.

Word on the message boards say he had the initial two Clotshots and at least one, if not two, ClotBoosters.

This is sad. It's virtually impossible to keep current with the number of people who have "died suddenly".

It's a mystery why this is happening.
