One question, WSN - if the university report on the death and - more importantly - the FAMILY asked for privacy in dealing with this matter, why did you print the student's name? It is enough of a shock to the university and this poor student's family without having his name plastered across the papers. You can "sell" papers without exploiting the facts.
I understand that the students of NYU want the facts of what happened, but there are facts that lend understanding of the event and those that don't. Discretion is an appreciated quality in reporting, you know.
