RUSE!
Although pneumonia was regarded by William Osler in the 19th century as "the captain of the men of death", the advent of antibiotic therapy and vaccines in the 20th century have seen radical improvements in survival outcomes. Nevertheless, in the third world, and among the very old, the very young and the chronically ill, pneumonia remains a leading cause of death.
Didn't he say he died of pneumonia?
So even if he has caught pneumonia, unless Boomerangdog is 3 years old, 93 years old, or living in Côte d'Ivoire, he's not dead.
Bernie Mac died of pneumonia though but I still don't think Boomerangdog did.
A father doesn't immediately inform players of one's death in an online video game forum. This is not their priority. Also, the diction and overall style of writing portrayed by the "father" replicates that of his "son's" almost entirely.
