Sad news!
In TDM he was ranked amongst legends such as  frag^m and  R0X.
He was one of the best, if not the best, TDM player that Scandinavia have had the joy cheer for. He was famous for his excellent minigun handling, his rocket, his shock, his overall play. A complete player that we're sad to say goodbye to, you might already know who I'm talking about.
Yes, that's right, it's the Swedish TDM legend  Cata. Without further ado I'll give the word to a teammate and a close friend.
inca wrote:Henrik Karlsson, a.k.a. "Cata" was found dead at Flottsund in Sunnersta the 14th of March, he had apparently committed suicide. No one seems to be certain how, but a guess is that it was a mixture of antidepressant and liquor.
The reason for this started when his father died about a year ago. Cata became depressed and things snowballed until he simply chose this as a last resort.
Cata was well respected, as a talented gamer by some, and as a good friend by others.
Words fail me... Words cannot fill this void that he left behind. Words cannot bring him back.
As his friend I can only hope that he did not suffer in the end.
His friends and family's thoughts are surely filled with if's and why's, but one thing is for certain - he will be sorely missed.
I send my deepest condolences to his family and all his friends.
R.I.P Cata.

[16:45:12] [Cata] this is the last day of my last days
join #HenrikKarlsson @ QuakeNet.org if you have questions or simply wish to honor his memory.
For those who doesn't know Cata, I can refer to demos from the grand final of the Nation Cup Winter 2004, where Cata shows off some awesome skill alongside his Swedish countryment.
Germany vs. Sweden
We here at UnrealNorth send our condolences to Henriks family and friends, hoping they'll get through this time of grief.
May you rest in peace Cata.

He was for sure a good player and as far as i know a great person aswel. This is a big loss, to his family and friends but also for the gaming community. A player/person to be rememberd! I wish alot of strenght to his mother, sister and the rest of his family and friends.
I hope you can rest in peace Cata/Henrik.

that sux hard. a lot of condolence to his friends and family, they will have a really hard time.
I`ve never got to know him personally, but in my opinion he`s maybe the best ut2kx TDM player ever, and IF i would have a TDM idol, it would be for sure cata.....
R.I.P ! A true legend.
About suicide: He must have had his reasons, but before commiting suicide, you should think about, what you do to your family and friends. He destroyed their life too :/ (or at least "damaged" it)

he may not have intended to commit suicide as such, if it was a mixture of liquer and anti-dep he could of just taken too much.

Lets not discuss the morale of suicide, it's not the appropriate time nor place to do it. Please show him, and the ones close to him, that respect!
Edit: William, yeah, that would be really nice, unfortunately I can't do it myself, but I'm willing to give a helping hand with checking demos for frags and such things, if needed be.

Itīs strange. Even though I didnt know more of this person than a demo or two I was quite touched over the day. Maybe its because it reminds me (us?) that our time is limited and shouldnt be wasted excessively? It somehow made me question my own "lifestyle" which consists mainly of uni and being online most of the day... Death comes for everyone earlier or later, but commiting suicide in such an age is somehow... Well, sad. Condolences to those who knew him in person and miss him. RIP mister Karlsson.
