- Why would a suicide be news? Unless the student killed
- him/herself in a particularly spectacular way, like a
- swan dive off the tallest campus building, or taking out
- a few passersby before turning gun on himself, I would
- think it would be handled quietly for the sake of the
- victim's family and friends.
