April 25, 201313 yr NY Post put a picture online and in their paper of two students who had on backpacks at the Boston Marathon and ID'd them as the bombers. Problem was that it wasn't the two bombers. They immediately started receiving threats online as well as their families receiving threats. One of the two was found dead in the river. No foul play is expected. Sad, sad, sad. Missing Brown University student found dead in Providence River, authorities confirm - U.S. News
April 25, 201313 yr No foul play expected? That's strange... Exactly. How do you just end up dead in the river?
April 25, 201313 yr Author Correction: This was not the kid the NY Post ID'd. It was the kid that was named on popular site Reddit.
April 25, 201313 yr He'd been missing well before the bombings, so I suspect that's why they are quick to view it as unrelated.
April 25, 201313 yr So a random site named a random kid, who had been missing for a month before the marathon, to be linked to the bombings, and now he's dead? Is that what I'm getting? Edited April 25, 201313 yr by TheDeuce
April 25, 201313 yr So a random site named a random kid, who had been missing for a month before the marathon, to linked be to the bombings, and now he's dead? Is that what I'm getting? Yep. That's pretty much it. I don't know about that order though. He could have died at any time during the last month and they've only now found his body in the river.
April 25, 201313 yr Author Mea culpa. I didn't catch the part about him missing before the explosion. In the big picture it doesn't change the fact that the kid was mis-ID'd and was harassed.

April 25, 201313 yr Author Harassed by who, and how was he harassed if he had been missing a month before the bombing? His family was harassed.
