My condolences to his family and friends.
It's way too early to die at that age!

Finland is a dual language country, with two official languages, Finnish and Swedish.

Speaking of that; this year it's actually a kind of "anniversary"; it's now 200 years that Sweden lost its eastern part (Finland, that until then had been Swedish for 600 years) to Russia as part of a Peace Treaty to end the war 1808-1809. Sweden has been neutral and hasn't been in war since then. Finland proclaimed independence 6 Dec 1917. This 200 year anniversary is highlighted in various ways, among other things there will be
a new Swedish 1 SEK coin with a special backside, which has the text "the wonderful fairytale about a country at the other side of the ocean", "Sverige 1809 * 1KR * 2009 Finland". This Swedish coin will be made in Finland.
