We lost a football player this morning in Chris Henry. Sometimes, they just need time to mature.Maybe Chris Henry was on this route. Maybe his future could have been something that people could look up to. Unfortunately, we will never know.He has been taken from us as a result of a vehicle related death It's not the first time this has happened.

(Adds comments by Aberdeen CEO, background) Media By Kevin Lim SINGAPORE, Jan 8 (Reuters) - The Asian unit of UK fundmanager Aberdeen Asset Management (ADN.L), once Satyam ComputerServices' (SAY.N) (SATY.BO) largest shareholder, said onThursday it no longer held any shares in the beleagured IndianIT outsourcing firm. Satyam shares plunged nearly 80 percent on Wednesday afterfounder and chairman Ramalinga Raju resigned and said thefirm's profits had been falsely inflated for years. "We don't own any ordinary Satyam shares," Aberdeen AssetManagement Asia chief executive Hugh Young told Reuters. Young declined to say when Aberdeen sold the shares, butadded the firm was "not prescient" to events that had takenplace at the Indian outsourcing firm.

Aberdeen owned about 9.2 percent of Satyam as of Octoberlast year, making it the firm's latest shareholder at thattime, according to Thomson Reuters data. Raju's shock disclosure pushed Indian equity markets into atailspin, with Bombay's main benchmark indextumbling7.3 percent, and raised questions about the quality ofcorporate governance in India. Young said Aberdeen would not shy away from investing inIndia because of the Satyam episode, although it would be morewary of relying on company accounts in future. Aberdeen's other large India holdings include HousingDevelopment Finance Corp (HDFC.BO) and IT outsourcing firmInfosys Technologies (INFY.BO). Young said Aberdeen had been taken aback by Wednesday'snews as Satyam's was a relatively "plain vanilla" business withproper independent directors and auditors, and whose marginswere in line with the rest of the industry. "Most of the things that go this way are complex businessesor dubious businesses doing their own things," he said.
