jetzt isses ja raus, er ist erfrohren
auf der windir hp:
"Terje left his home Wednesday 14.01, when he did not return his family got worried and contacted the police. Saturday 17.01 our greatest fear was confirmed. Terje was found dead at Reppastølen in the Sogndal valley. It seemed as if Terje was on his way to the family cabin at Fagereggi. Due to the cold weather and deep snow the trip became much harder than Terje expected. When he realized that he would not be able to reach the cabin, he tried to make his way back down. Unfortunately he did not make it. Terje was found just above Reppastølen. Forensic evidence says that Terje died of hyperthermia. This tragic accident has made these times extremely difficult for his family, band members and friends.
Terje was buried at Stedje church Tuesday 27.01.
We hope you will respect his memory and let Terje’s closest mourn in peace.
A great man has passed away, but his music lives forever.
Hváll, Steingrim, Sture, Strom & Righ. "
nochmal auf deutsch von powermetal.de:
"Terje "Valfar" Bakken, der am Samstag, den 17. Januar, tot aufgefunden wurde (nicht am 16.1., wie von uns berichtet), ist Opfer eines tragischen Unfalls geworden. Er befand sich auf dem Weg zur Blockhütte seiner Familie, aber Kälte und Schnee machten dieses Vorhaben unmöglich, sodass er sich zur Umkehr entschloss, den Rückweg allerdings nicht mehr schaffte. Als Todesursache wurde Unterkühlung angegeben. Valfar wurde am vergangenen Dienstag, den 27.1., in Stedje beigesetzt."
