I've been away from the Internet today so I just learned about this. I'm in shock. What a horrible tragedy. He was such a good young man. RIP. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

From what I've gleaned online, the area where Denis was stabbed is a good neighborhood, so someone expressed shock that there would be a murder happening there. I read somewhere else that a pedestrian found Denis lying in the street and called an ambulance, so who knows how long he was there suffering before being taken to a hospital.

Thank you for the information. Takahiko Kozuka also put up a screenshot of a recent Line conversation he had had with Denis, where Denis asked him when he could ship him some Kozuka blades. It is obvious how well-liked and loved Denis is among his skating circle. It is nice to see him in the Shibs' videos too.

Someone with medical knowledge say that he probably was unconscious and didn´t suffer much
It’s such a tragedy! When my friend sent me a message I couldn’t believe what I read but unfortunately it was true. For the last few hours I lived in some kind of denial state until I saw condolences and tributes made by other skaters. And after I saw the last Instagram story made just few hours before his death I just couldn’t take it any more.
Denis Ten and Javier Fernendez were two skaters I respected the most. They managed to beat the odds as they came from small feds without backing of sponsors and tried to develop in countries where figure skating was almost nonexistent. Denis was an amazing artist on ice and it’s heartbreaking that he got through so many injuries at the end of his career. Also from what I read he was sweet and genuine person, always kind to another human being. I hope he will rest in peace and people responsible for it will face severe punishment

All of his skates were a treat to me, because he was a complete skater-- musical with beautiful flow, showing care to the music and choreography. His Instagrams were always interesting, and I recall one video of him singing and playing guitar, showing his other talents. In the beginning, I was intrigued by this cute Asian boy who spoke Russian, from a country I knew little about. Now I see how excellent his English was too; he made friends with people from so many countries! It's so weird to speak of Denis in the past tense. I'm going to keep watching his skating videos now.... Missing Denis Ten.

I'm in shock, I was going to go to bed, but I checked instagram, and I just can not believe it. It's so unfair ... and he's so young and talented, a boy younger than me ... my god ... this makes me think that life is so fleeting.
R.I.P Denis, an excellent athlete, from a small country to which he brought a lot of honor and medals only with effort and dedication. Strength for his family:sad21:

I’m so shocked! I don’t follow Denis Ten that much but I remember very clearly two events I went and so him live. The first time I saw him was 2009 in Lake placid, at SA. I told my husband that he was very promising and talented. The second event was In London for 2013 World. At practice, he tried 4T again and again , and failed most of the time, but nailed it in the competition. He was such a fighter and a complete package on ice. So sad he just left like this. reading Alex Shib’s twitter Let me know more about him as a person，and that makes me just have more respect for him. He single handedly made a beautiful show happened in his country， and I hope the legacy will stay with figure skating fans for years to come.
Rest In Peace Denis!

How could this happen???!!! Such awful news. A friend of mine, an occasional skating fan, forwarded me a news article about Denis' death today, and I still can't believe this has happened, so out of the blue and due to criminal depravity. Denis was so young, always a joy to watch, and I liked seeing his posts on Instagram, even when they were things in Russian that I couldn't understand. In this tribute video, you can see a bit of little Denis at the beginning of his skating career. Thank you for all the wonderful performances and your friendship with all the skaters around the world, Denis. The world is a little less bright now without you.

Terrible news. I loved watching him skate, very passionate and emotional. A man of many talents. He was also one of the few skaters who spent time with fans in 4CC this year and was very accommodating and kind to everyone. I was happy to have met him. Rest in peace, Denis.

Originals are expensive. In my country they even take the logos from the car
I used to live in Peru. They would steal car mirrors, headlights, windshield wipers, anything and everything. You could go to an area of Lima and buy stolen replacements. Whenever you parked on the street you had to remove all these things and hide them somewhere and leave the glove box open so thugs would know there was nothing inside. It’s like that in a lot of countries.

His long program at 2015 4CC is what made me a fan. I even searched out a fancam of it so I didn't have to listen to the commentators yammering over his footwork sequence

Absolutely heartbreaking.
It was the first thing I saw, and definitely not what I expected to see when I logged into GS. Just found out and I think I've sat staring at my screen in shock for the last 10 minutes.
My sincerest condolences to the family.

yep.
I like in Brazil, and my car model has the replacement tire outside.
I had to chain (and its not some subtle chain) it to the car so they wouldnt take it away.
