>In another case, a student used the word “suicide” over 100 times in an essay. That student later died and the death was classified “an accident” by President Tessier-Lavigne’s administration.

That's really up to the police to decide, isn't it? There's a lot of important info being omitted about this example.

Stanford has its own police department. So they investigated themselves and decided the most convenient thing for them was the truth. They also didn't address, at all, the fact that the "accident" could have been prevented. The way the RA/RD handled that situation would have gotten him immediately fired at the school where I was an RA, and that's before even touching on the other lawsuit against him.
What exactly was the accident?
