Another Death at Harvard
The Harvard Crimson reports the death of sophmore Kathlene Joo ‘11 as the fourth undergrad to pass this year. FOUR? Does that not seem disproportionate?
Some commentary on the Crimson’s website suggests neuroenhancing drugs may have been at play. If so, shame on Study Council and the UC (and, really, HUPD) for not doing more to address the issue.
UPDATE (May 8, 2009): The Crimson did not make an error; there are are indeed four: Joo, Peter Cai, and Clarel Antoine and M.J. Friedman. (Thanks J.A.P.C.K.)

Fourth was a young man whose death was not unexpected (he had cancer), but whose loss was felt just as deeply: http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=524588

[...] passing of former Cabot resident M. Brooke Halsey ‘06. While it doesn’t add to the peculiar number of deaths of current students this year, it is unsettling [...]
