Bwog staffer Anna Corke just sent in the following statement:
“I was walking on Amsterdam by the underpass and saw a bunch of people huddled around something. When I finally got close enough to see, it was OUR HERO! I’m so sad, guys… actually cried. I can’t believe he’s dead. Anyway, I took a picture, don’t know if this is too insensitive to post. Somehow I think he would have wanted people to see his carcass, since he was so open about his killings in life.”
Still no word on the cause of death of our dear friend and hero. We’ll update as more information comes in. If you’d like to share your grief with us, we’ll be having a vigil at sundown at the sundial.

@Alidad As your school president, I promise that nobody will ever toy with your emotions. Before we start respecting each other as human beings, we need to start respecting those creatures who do not have a voice.

@really this is an april fool’s joke? people would actually be concerned if a hawk was dead?
@seriously? Are you kidding me? I would go into fucking mourning if that hawk was dead! Despite your crown icon I can’t believe that you are actually a student here.
@Anonymous Hawkmadinejad has really given us a sense of community. When I saw this post, my jaw dropped and I was truly heartbroken for a second.
@Fuck Lame.
@elna not cool bwog, not cool
@Suggestion Bwog, I think you should remove that exclamation point at the end of “don’t click if you don’t want to see”
It’s just a bit too gleeful not to lead to an April Fool’s Joke.
@may hawkmadinejad wreak revenge on bwog for this misbegotten post. one does not trifle with the raptor and escape unscathed….!!!!
@i've said it before, and i’ll say it again: bwog has too much power.

@Hawkmadinejad Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.
@Sartremadinejad L’hawk est mort – vive l’hawk!

@ideas! i think it would have been funny if bwog had changed to banner to “the spec” for april fools

@anon when i started reading this, i thought it was in reference to the MTA subway hero. i clicked on “read more” fully expecting to see a dead (human) body.
@yes i thought the same thing until i saw the tag.

@bwog Not funny, you sick sad bwoggers.
