    Hello Professor Clement after reading over the scenario again I feel that his death could have been caused by an accident because he could have been with some friends who were trespassing on the property and drinking. Therefore, given his age he could have been drunk and fell which may have caused him to hit his head. There is also the fact that he could have had a medical condition which no one knew about which could have caused him to have a sudden heart attack because a heart attack has no age of person. Furthermore, if the victim was not murdered and there was others with him but they were trespassing they would not want to get in trouble for being on someone else’s property without permission plus they could have been drinking and had

    An Epidemic of Firearms Just as drugs are to Columbia, and malaria is to Africa, gun homicides are epidemic in the United States. While it makes sense that a nation founded on violent uprising and personal freedom is resistant to restrictions being placed on their firearms, the body count is far too high for our current gun practices to go on as is. On an average day in America, 92 people are killed by firearms (Lopez 2015). Even more jarring is the number of school shootings; 150 since 2013 (Everytown 2015). In an extreme expression of convoluted judgement seven states have passed legislation allowing the possession of firearms in the classroom.

    After a death or loss of something close, people usually react similarly by going through the five stages of grief. These stages include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. During a death of my Great Aunt, my family went through the stages of grief. I was close with her when I was younger, but I do not have many memories I remember with her so I did not experience much grief.
