Sex Video Linked to Student's Suicide

(Piscataway, New Jersey) Earlier this month, two undergrads at Rutgers University set up a hidden webcam to secretly broadcast homosexual episodes engaged in by fellow student, Tyler Clementi.

On September 22, Clementi reportedly left a note on his Facebook page stating, "Jumping off the gw bridge sorry."

Sadly, he did.

A lawyer for Clementi's family confirmed Wednesday that he had jumped off the George Washington Bridge last week. Police recovered a man's body Wednesday afternoon in the Hudson River just north of the bridge, and authorities were trying to determine if it was Clementi's.

The lawyer has not responded to requests for comment on whether Clementi was open about his sexual orientation.

Clementi's roommate, Dhraun Ravi, and fellow Rutgers freshman Molly Wei, both 18, have been charged with invading Clementi's privacy. Middlesex County prosecutors say the pair used a webcam to surreptitiously transmit a live image of Clementi having sex on Sept. 19 and that Ravi tried to webcast a second encounter on Sept. 21, the day before Clementi's suicide.

Gay and lesbian groups are reportedly organizing a "call to action" based on the Clementi and similar suicides.
