Sad news, I get the impression (possibly incorrectly) from the article that it wasn't skiing related.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Sad we don't kno why. Papers possibly linking the whole trip to alcohol abuse without knowledge of the facts. Heart breaking for parents without it being unnecessarily in the public eye

Think it's natural for parents to think along those lines. Unfortunately I gave my folks good reason to be worried one NYE when I arrived home in an ambulance having stopped for a rest on the way home and fallen asleep. Had I not chosen to sit down outside the house of a nurse who happened to be on an early shift then I might not be here today. Lesson learnt the hard way.
Agree that it's not right for papers/websites to speculate, I'm sure many of us are capable of jumping to our own conclusions (I'm aware that I did)

@dan100, I don't suppose the authorities know quite why just yet. No doubt there's a post-mortem, toxicology report etc and investigations..

The local paper says the post mortem will be today. Le Dauphine is also re-reporting all the articles in the UK press detailing the excesses on previous Varsity Trips. The only details they have given have been reportes but essentially he was found by his mates in his room after an 'alcoholic evening'.
RIP

I think that fact that they report this specific death rather than others on that day (there would be 5 on the UK roads for example) is presumably because they already jumped to their own conclusion.

True there was some awful sensationalist stories yesterday, we all know these trips can be pretty full on, but going on about endless 'debauchery' it in the same article of the lads death, very insensitive.
