I know some will say that people of all ages fall over dead so this is nothing new.

But I remember my college days fairly well. Immediately after WWII. I enrolled along with the first guys on the GI Bill. Guys with grey hair, guys that had spent a couple of years in prison camps after being shot down, guys that drank too much.....and I do not remember one death during my time a UNC Chapel Hill except a few who tried to knock down trees with their cars and one good friend who crashed during an air show.

The university was nowhere near the size it is today, but it was big enough to have a cross section of university life in the US.

Agreed—in my entire youth I knew two teenagers who committed suicide—zero deaths from any other cause.

This would have been out of thousands of kids who were in various classes at school or college.
