Ugh. This makes me really sad. I originally believed the "reports" and even reposted, but within a minute I slapped myself upside the head and deleted that post. I'm glad I did... I would feel even worse if I hadn't. Of course, I don't know whether the reddit witchunt has contributed to his death: he had been missing for two weeks prior.
I don't feel anywhere near as terrible as his parents will however.
