This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Well, er, yes and no.

If Weer is lying about his age at the time (invalidating the big anchor for
the current operating timeline), then the coldhouse death could be his own,
just as he might be a dead boy next to his chemistry set.

(And he would lie about his age ostensibly to distance himself from the
prank if he was the perpetrator, too.  In addition to lying about his age
to avoid facing the fact that he himself died there.)

But if Weer is not lying about his age, and the victim's details are true,
then no, the death cannot be Weer's.
