A Korean (or Korean-American — the story doesn’t make it clear) senior at Virginia Tech was found shot dead in his car on Dec 9, a relative said Wednesday.
The circumstances of his death have yet to be released, but police told relatives they believe the death to be a suicide, pointing to the fact that he bought a gun in late November and an autopsy revealed he was shot with his own gun.
Family, however, have their doubts, noting that no suicide note was left and that he didn’t have any particular reason to kill himself. They also note that a look at his phone records revealed that records of calls made in a particular time period had been erased.
Speaking of VT, this is absolutely appalling.

Tomorrow I’ll be combing the news for stories of white American college students found dead in an apparent suicide and leave comments on the next open thread to preempt the deafening silence with irrelevant and uninteresting chatter.
Somebody’s bitter. Did you get your feelings hurt?
I don’t understand Sonagi’s comment. Can someone interpret for me?
See the last open post (from last weekend). There was a little back-and-forth there about what is appropriate content for rjkoehler.com’s blog and because colontos wanted our hateful little pawikilrogi to be taken more seriously. Among other things, she’s mocking colontos’s post about “deafening silence.”

Anyway, the fact that this took place at Virginia Tech heightens the creepiness factor. This thread’s gonna get really ugly, isn’t it? Maybe a little sententiousness all the way around.
I take it you don’t like sarcasm, at least when it’s directed at you.
I love sarcasm. It’s a couple of other s-words (not swords!) that bother me.
It’s reprehensible but it’s still free speech. It’s people who are offended by comments and directing people to say or not say according to their moral definition that I’m scared of the most. I’d rather see Nazis spew hate speech than to see a group of idiots telling me what I can or cannot say.
That’s a lot of tragedy for one campus to go through in less than a year.
#9 NewYorkTom- There is no free speech in this context. There’s just what the site owner is willing to accept.
It’s a basic fact that people always fail to understand about the internet.
