Nothing but a reverently heavy heart tonight--the sadness wells up and turns to painful tears. There are no words in the face of something like this.
Reasonable speculation is that he likely died due to the stress of being tortured.
This man was 22. May he rest in peace.
Please no controversial comments on this one. My heart can't handle them. Just read his story, and honour this young man in your hearts for a moment. If you're someone who prays, pray for this poor family. I cannot imagine their grief.
