Sad news.
Moreover, I wonder if authorities released too much info initially.
How many 39 year old male U.S. citizens from Maryland came back from Portugal today via Newark? Not very many, I would guess. Ten or twelve, maybe fewer?
I hate to think that any relatives find out through the news before authorities can contact them.
Maybe the authorities should have initially withheld the age, the country he was coming from (could have said "coming from Europe," instead of Portugal) or his state of residence UNTIL they notified next of kin.
I will bump that.
