Helloo. How about an update, please. It's been 24 hours and you are the Menlo Park online newspaper.

Especially since we heard that it was a kid. I asked mine if they'd heard anything at school, and no one had.

I have heard the sad news that it was a child who was killed. Most likely this is why there is little information being distributed to the public.

According to other media, it was a 16-year-old boy. I have a 16-year-old son. I understand they don't want to encourage copycat suicides, but they shouldn't be pretending that nothing happened. In some ways, that's even worse for the kids.
Editor's note: We checked with the coroner. So far, no report.

We have asked the coroner's office multiple times since Monday to confirm that information and they have not yet done so. If anyone does have additional information, please let us know ([email protected], 650-223-6529.) Thank you.

He was a classmate of mine from elementary and middle school... He was probably the nicest boy in the grade. He did not deserve to suffer...

I went to camp with him and he was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He was for sure a pretty funky dude but he had such a big heart and was always smiling. My best wishes go to his family and friends. R.I.P.
