Was he in his dorm room all alone getting totally whacked and then shot himself? If that is the case, this is a tragedy.

You are indeed dead on right! First, I don't blame anyone. Did we see problems? Yes. Did we get him help, yes. But it still happened. Actually, he did it completely alone in his apartment. But we had been working with him and had intervened.
Who let him do it? He let himself do it - first and foremost. Today, the world tells us to look for someone to blame. HE DID IT - but I remain doubtful that he would have done it in the absence of intoxication.
Regardless, it's a tragedy. The anniversary of his death is my wedding anniversary. I'm reminded of it every year.
