It's a senseless loss and some idiot has to be first to put on a tin foil hat. What else is new? What took him so long?

Beyond that, do we want our historians to pursue personal missions that can drive them to emotional problems and suicide or on the other end giddiness? I for one don't care much for that kind of history, but it seems to be the only kind celebrated nowadays. Gimme Paul Johnson any day...

Anything about the small town of Los Gatos that might tell us about a possible Japanese suspect?

Los Gatos isn't that small... nor that isolated.

Perhaps we'll get some more clues when The Bataan Death March book is published.

Better focus on the anti-depressant medications she was prescribed. They've killed scores of people (by driving them to suicide), singer Del Shannon among them.

That's why I would never take them even if prescribed by a doctor. There are some health food store natural alternatives..

The writer is not familiar with the locale where her car was found. It is NOT an "isolated spot" near a small town. Had someone "taken" her there, it would not have been totally inconspicuous.

I sympathize with his frustration, but I think he's projecting a lot in this tragedy.

Could be a way of dealing with his own sorrow, true.

For example, with such a premature judgement of suicide as the initial assessment of Chang's death, conspiracy theorists are free to argue that white officials don't care for minorities.

I'd like to see the author's evidence that it was white officials that made the premature judgment.

After all, the local media constantly heralds the diversity of the Bay Area.

I knew a young woman who swore by witch hazel. She was combating depression brought on by a car accident that left her badly scared (facial scars). She had been an aspiring model.
