This comes a year after a graduate from a decade ago was found dead at the bottom of one of them after having inexplicably returned to campus.??

Illegal alien and recent (illegal) immigrant reporter. The stories in newspapers make no sense anymore.
Did NJ’s Frank Lautenberg graduate from Cornell? He looks like the walking dead. Maybe he was found dead and then returned to campus.

Sounds like Cornell is doing a pretty poor job of instilling self esteem in their students.

Suicides always want to make an impression on the people they have left behind. They think that killing themselves will be the ultimate punishment to somebody against whom they had a grudge.
That’s why they sometimes go back to a place or kill themselves in front of some person that they consider “responsible” for their problems. It’s called “suicide on the head of [fill in the blank],” an old expression meaning that I blame X for my problems and the fact that I am killing myself here points directly to X.

I don't get it either.
After reading the article, it's just about what the sucidee wrote on Facebook, and what a friend of the dead guy wrote on his Facebook page.
All in all, a non-event. If you are going to kill yourself, couldn't you go and volunteer to go to Iraq or Afghanistan, and go infiltrate some Islamist terror network?

There's an awful smell.
Some say it's Cayuga's waters,
Some say it's (where K. Overbite went to ag school)

This is not really new phenomenon. Periodicallt some one just takes this very sad way to resolve their problems.

Oh no, whatever will we do if our ruling ivy league elites keep killing themselves? How will we the ignorant masses ever muddle through?

Actually I blame the university. The climate of the place is such that every one is finger pointing and one upping each other.
There is only so much pressure that can be stood by those who have bought into the liberal zeitgeist.
