For better or worse, when a public figure like Dean gets killed there is no containing the flood of information and misinformation, including those hoping to contain the flood for decorum's sake. There is no perfect way to disseminate bad news and ease the shock, which always prompts a moment of chaos. It's all part of being human, and we just lost a good one.

Aw f*#k. And basejumping no less. I'm starting to really not like that sport. Too many good people have been lost.

Sincerest condolences to family and friends.
This loss will be taken very hard by a great many people. Avoiding speculation and recriminations is well advised.
The details will come out in due process. Families will read what is posted here. Respectful decorum will be appreciated.
Feast in Peace.
