It's with a very heavy heart that I come here today... there is no easy way to say this,


Our dear friend Cruel (Dean Rathbone) was involved in accident a few days ago. He is currently at the hospital on life support and in need of our prayers.

Here is a message update left by his sister:

Leigh Ravannelli Rathbone
to all deans friends. An update from his sister Lisa from the hospital. The machine was planned to be switched off at 4pm but some last minute tests have revealed some brain activity. They will do more tests in the morning brfore turning off the machine as they want to be certain. I just wanted u all to know

Right now all we can do is pray that he gets better, we will do our best to keep you all informed.

My prayers are with him.

Him and his family will defiantly be in my prayers.

My prayers are with him

Cruel! Stick in there bud... My prayers are with you and your family through these hard times my friend...

Keep us updated...

I will keep him in my prayers.

He has my prayers.

My thoughts are with him

Let me know if there is any way we can help his family out. I will definitely pray for him and his family.

Thank you for informing us.

Thoughts and prayers to him and his family. I'm hoping for a miracle recovery.

man cruel you were a good friend man i truely hope that you pull through

This is truly devastating. I really hope he pulls through...

Most definitely in my thoughts and prayers.

I think I speak for quite a few people when I say... Cruel, love you lots like jelly tots. Stay strong my friend <3

As he was a good friend of mine when he frequented around here, this is really hard to hear. He will be in my thoughts. I hope he gets better :(

Sad news. Him and his family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Though I've never spoken with Cruel or some of you that know him well.  Tragedies are that and I have Cruel, his family, and all of you in my thoughts this evening.

Hope things get better for you Cruel. You shall be in my prayers tonight buddy.

I had the pleasure of meeting Cruel/Dean last year at the UK Mafia Meet. He was a great guy, which makes it all the more upsetting to hear this news.

He will be in my thoughts and I truly hope he comes through this.

Wow this has come as a massive shock and I am stunned.

An all round top bloke, hope the next update brings good news. Stay strong dude!!

Thoughts go out to him and his family at this awful time.
