But I don’t understand how releasing that information would make the impossible task of processing this tragedy more difficult for the family nor do I believe that allowing others to be negatively affected would bring them more peace. I see no benefit from withholding the info and nothing but benefits from releasing it. Do you not understand that maybe the family wants to grieve in peace? Or they do not want a bunch of strangers passing judgment on their son on Twitter? If the family truly believes there's something to be gained by releasing information, then they'll do it. They shouldn't do it to satisfy the macabre curiosity of a bunch of strangers. 1 3 Quote

Again that's not the point being made. Everyone is sad and cares about Dawson. Everyone respects his privacy. The concern ppl have is not mutually exclusive to that 16 minutes ago, TheBrownBear said: Do you not understand that maybe the family wants to grieve in peace?

It's literally the opposite of gossiping. Ppl have a legitimate concern. Therefore they want to know the cause of death. If it was gossip it would be a Thanksgiving party and talking about uncle bills gambling problem.... Trying to make illegitimate people's concerns are pretty ridiculous at this point. Again everyone also understands the Knox family and the need for privacy. Nobody is disagreeing with that. 1 Quote

I’m pretty sure they’d make a cause of it and point funds in the direction of finding a cure. It’s much for likely to be an overdose than cancer imo .......or a sort of cardiac event associated with, but not limited to a possible adverse effect to a medically mandated injection?

You got that bass ackwards there. Uncle Bill affects you and your family. That's not gossip, that's sharing personal information within your family of a legitimate concern. Knowing about the death of someone else that will have a very small chance of impacting anything that you do in your daily life is gossip. 2 3 Quote

It is Their family business. Just my opinion. It may be too painful for them to talk about. And when they think it's right make more information public *shrugs* Or not. m 1 Quote

Can you imagine losing your job and livelihood, businesses destroyed. Can you imagine violating a multitude of civil rights, privacy rights, being ostracized from people. But knowing all this, the anger people feel, we still respect the Knox family and their rights. If only that same approach was given the past two years... In some respect I'm glad it happened because it revealed to me a lot about people and their true character 1 2 1 Quote

So I'm assuming you follow up with the random Jane and John Doe's of the world also that suddenly die and no information is available? What threads are you commenting on and what boards about it? Why is this information so important to you being available vs anyone else? 1 Quote

I see no benefit from withholding the info and nothing but benefits from releasing it. It was their son, and if they don't want to release the information leading to his death, that is their choice. I'm also a little perplexed by the assumption that staying private would negatively affect the general public, and that it would not even be their decision. And the fact that you "don’t understand how releasing that information would make the impossible task of processing this tragedy more difficult for the family," only highlights the notion that it's really none of your business. How can we assume how this is affecting their family? Not trying to be combative here.
