Really sad :( Surprised that we were not informed earlier. Condolences to the family.

Marc Lacrosse has contributed many opening books, to polyglot code, and to a lot of features in Scid. He of course has a lot more contributions to chess in general, especially correspondence chess.

I could not find a cause of his death in the certificate. Does anyone know the cause of his untimely death?

Sad indeed....I still can't believe that he's gone :cry:
And how old was he when he passed away :!: :?:

It was an heart attack...
I knew that in August but as there were 2 "Marc Lacrosse" in Belgium :

and as I didn't know who was the one in the CC field, I didn't want to report false bad news ...

So I assume that he was relatively young....anything between 40-50 years old :!: :?:

Hmmm,it must have a massive heart attack to kill him at this age engaging a large part of the heart tissue....
R.I.P. Marc,

FM Marc Lacrosse, born in 1958.
No, he is the other one as Vincent already pointed out (second link). I already made the same mistake, picking a wrong photo on a cpw page. Marc was born 1961, see here.
