Tragedy

Yesterday DCW announced on Community that Jennie H. Lee '07 was found dead in her room in Stone-D late morning. I was shocked and shaken with grief when I heard that another life was lost on this campus. Another member of the Class of 2007. Another tragedy on Spring Weekend.

There hasn't been official news on the cause, although foul play was quickly ruled out, but it seems to be implied that she committed suicide. This comes too close to Katie Palmer's death in 2004. Others are pointing to mental illness. Whatever it is, it's such a tragedy for the family and friends of Jennie. She seems to have been a bright young women who touched a lot of people on campus. She was apparently a member of WIVCF, which makes her death harder to understand. Was she depressed? Was she suffering from bipolar, which someone implied?

Another death. Another loss. I'm so sorry, Jennie, that we as a community couldn't help you in whatever way you needed.
Lord, please take care of her and her family.
