It doesn't really matter that much either way to be honest, it's a "death by misadventure" whether he just stupidly wandered off and fell, or got himself involved in something else... the outcome is the same and the cause ultimately is similar and all-too-common for young people especially young boys as a cause of untimely death. Didn't realise what danger he was putting himself in, made some tragic mistakes. |
I wouldn't say it doesn't matter, yes he's still dead but if someone was responsible it should be looked into regardless but yes if he was pushed off a cliff or something that's probably impossible to prove

As before I do still feel for his parents - regardless of what happened and regardless of what he'd done in the past, that's still someone's kid, and not even like "adult offspring", 20 is still basically a child, especially in the mind of a parent[/B].

Yes true enough. My own son is 20 now so I agree 20 is still a child to me. Although that machete business.. not the average "boys will be boys" stuff I have to say...
