At least Linus commented on this very sensitive issue. Not sure why PG has not said anything publicly when he knew and has worked with Aaron during Reddit.
(2) this must have hit PG like a freight train, I barely knew Aaron and I'm still reeling from it
(3) if and when PG speaks is up to him, he's certainly not under any obligation
I'm sure he does. But that does not mean that what he has to say is for public consumption. Also, given PGs closeness to Aaron in the past he may very well simply not be in the mood. Give the man some space.
I find your comment bizarre.

Why should PG talk publicly about the death by suicide of someone he knew?
Linus on the other hand is known for speaking out on issues of law. That probably started in the days of the SCO fiasco, but he has always been vocal and I'm glad to hear him speak out on this issue.
