Whomever that Mike Mulugeta was, I feel very sorry for him.
He's a real person, with a Facebook page (since 2008) and everything. Unlike that Brown student, it doesn't seem like he was newsworthy in any way prior to last night. How in the world did his name get involved? We may never know, because the internet rumor mill works in mysterious ways...
All I do know is that everyone with a blog was reporting him dead in the wee hours of Friday morning, and now his name will always be unfairly associated with this tragedy due to Google. It's something that could really only happen in today's modern society.
