A co-founder of Reddit and activist who fought to make online content
free to the public has been found dead, authorities confirmed Saturday,
prompting an outpouring of grief from prominent voices on the
intersection of free speech and the Web.

Aaron Swartz, 26, hanged himself in his Brooklyn apartment weeks before
he was to go on trial on accusations that he stole millions of journal
articles from an electronic archive in an attempt to make them freely
available. If convicted, he faced decades in prison and a fortune in
fines.

He was pronounced dead Friday evening at home in Brooklyn's Crown
Heights neighborhood, said Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for New York's
chief medical examiner.
