  2. You are so quick to judge that it is a suicide..
    considering that the reasons for his drowning are still under investigation, i humbly request in honor of his friends and family that you be more sensitive with your word choice in this regard.

  3. I agree with the other anonymous poster. Who has reported or confirmed that this was a suicide? The determination that a death is a suicide is a conclusion to be made by a medical examiner or police investigators, not your guesswork.

  4. I am not a student at Cornell but a friend of the family. For a school that is put on a pedestal I feel you need a lesson in choosing your words more carefully. How can you post a comment like that with no regard for his family or for people like me who are distraught over this? Jumping to say it was a suicide is an assumption on your part and posting 4 words 'Suicide off Thurston Bridge" is extremely cold. Bradley was a good person from a fine family and posting something in such a cold manner really shows you don't even have regard for a fellow Cornell student. Shame on you!!
