The Internet genius behind the popular Web site Reddit.com committed suicide at his Red Hook home yesterday, according to law-enforcement sources and friends who publicly identified him.

 

Officers found Aaron Swartz unconscious at 9:30 a.m. Police are investigating whether he passed away after hanging himself, but the medical examiner will determine the cause of death, said law-enforcement sources.

 

Swartz reportedly co-founded Reddit and helped draft an early version of the RSS format, a "Web feed" that syndicates popular headlines.
