ODE Death Toll: 1

To her understanding, Schwartz said Jones was planning to turn himself in to police the day the initial Emerald article was published. However, he changed his mind because he feared people would no longer respect him and because he didn’t feel comfortable returning to campus, she said.

From this Emerald article regarding the suicide of Eric Dylan Jones. Personally, I was kind of shocked by the way the Emerald ran the initial story regarding the beat-down. If I recall correctly, the Emerald blurred out the faces of students photographed during the fall “riot.” The decision to run an above the fold full color head shot of a suspect seemed to be an about face. An low-and-behold, the kid kills himself as a result. Is the first campus death attributed to the Daily Emerald?

And… Greg Diamond is a stand up guy, but I think he’s overstating his affiliation with this publication.
