Yesterday it was reported that friend of Joey Boots and popular SFN poster Rogny was found dead in his apartment. He was 39. Rogny was a popular poster on SFN for years, and one of the few people still posting on SFN that never had a negative comment to say about anyone.
The cause of death was not immediately known, but there were reports he did suffer from heart problems. A couple of weeks ago, Rogny and Boots were arrested in Rogny's apartment on suspicion of drug activity. Rogny posted on SFN as recently as Monday.
Joey Boots had this to say on SFN about the death: "I'm posting here because Rogny was my friend............he had a serious disease and that was alcoholism and drug addiction which I know of firsthand and have managed to stay clean and sober since my od on May 19th. He needed help and Thursday night into Friday morning myself and another of Rogny's friends had an intervention with him in his room where we told him we would walk him in to the detox at bellevue hospital and from there get him straight in to a rehab program cuz we told him he was gonna die if he continued. The super found him dead today.........I felt i needed to be there and got in to the city and cabbed it right over.....Steve Langford was already there having been called by the owner of the building who knew Steve from the report Langford did about our arrest. Rogny even called Miserable Men last night to praise Steve. I'm gonna miss him and so will so many others..."
Surprisingly, most of the posts about Rogny on SFN were positive. Rogny was one of the true fans of Howard Stern, and he will be missed in the Stern community.
