Working tirelessly to promote cubing and competitions. He came to help start the first WCA official Comp in Singapore a few years back.
I went over to watch the comp but did not see him.

RIP (if true)
 
My condolences from Vietnam.
I met him first time in 2010 to pick him up from Rising Dragon Hotel. He helped us a lot to start the first and second WCA comp.
I will remember his nonstop passion and the way he told us about it.
Thank you Anders and rest in peace.
 
Anders will be missed by many in the cubing community. I didn't know him personally but have always been impressed with his accomplishments in growing the speedsolving community world wide.
 
What? I've never posted anything here, but i have to... RIP Anders, he's the first delegate in Vietnam for the first official WCA... Back then i was only 15. I miss him so much :(... That sucks...
 
Rest in peace Anders. I didn't know him personally but I've heard that he is a really great guy. Will be missed by us all.

I wrote the text below in a new thread this morning (Swedish time) since I didn't see the one that already existed. I found out about Anders passing just yesterday from facebook.

Is there anyone who knows what happend to him?
I knew Anders as a person that hardly would take any big risks, a calm and sensible person, for me it is incomprehensible that he has lost his life in a accident falling from a hight and I can not really find peace if I do not know what happened.

"I have the sad news, for those of you who do not already know this, that the Swedish WCA delegate Anders Larson is dead.

He died in a tragic accident falling from height in South Corea Thurday the 6’th of August only 51 years old, that's all I know at the moment.

Anders was a researcher and professor in the high voltage electricity at Uppsala University.

Anders has done a lot for the cube sport in general, he was a very committed person. He was one of the enthusiasts who had started the sport here in Sweden but he was also involved in starting up competitions in many other countries.

He lived for some years in Singapore, where he as well as in Sweden worked with research for the defense authorities. During his time in Asia he started up competitions several countries in the region including Vietnam etc. He later also started up competitions, among other countries, in South Africa.

I personally have been friends with Anders since 2005 when the first Swedish championship since 1981 was organized by hime.

My thoughts go out to his girlfriend and family in the first place, and to all the friends he has received through the cube sport second.
