I think everyone should have the right to comment, I just wanted you to know who you were talking about. If it were a friend of YOURS, you would feel the same. His funeral was lovely, except for the press who stuck a camera in his mother's face. We asked them to leave, but they just went across the street. He always wanted to be famous...

SO WHAT IF he was gay or straight. It makes no difference. I love the way people make rude, insensitive and unsympathetic remarks HIDING behind a computer. If you said stuff like this to anyone in person you'd get punched or worse. It really shows what a lousy job your parents did in raising you. Karma is a bitch so be very careful what you say about others and how you treat people. No one deserves to die this way. Last I checked suicide victims don't strangle themselves. Opinions are like a holes, everyone has one and they usually stink !!!

The truth is something everyone will have to handle. I was mainly referring to comments like #4.

#13, When the truth comes out about this, will you and wineNroses be able to handle it?

You're asking 8 million new yorkers not to comment on something that happened in their backyard.

Why post a comment about a (possible) murder victim who you don't even know? As wineNroses said his family and friends don't need to read your theories on what happened to Kevin. It's a sensitive subject and I think some of you should think of his family and friends before commenting. Even as someone who went to school with Kevin I don't feel that it's my place to share my speculations. I'd really appreciate it if those who didn't know Kevin at all do the same.

This is how mobsters rub out guys behind on their vig, not a 19 yr. old college kid. This is beyond disturbing and sick. terrible.

Just because commenting is an option doesn't mean you have to do it all the time. Your uninformed musings and opinions are of very little value to this story. A young man who happened to live in Chelsea is dead. If you want to speculate as to why, do it to yourself, or to people who, by virtue of being your family, friends, or coworkers, are unfortunately obligated to listen to you. Spare the rest of us. Please.

Unfortunate about his death and that some people think everybody who lives in Chelsea is gay. He lived on safe block - some other parts of Chelsea, particularly OuCh (Outer Chelsea) by Club Row is kind of sketchy. Hate to say it, but it looks more like a suicide rather than a homicide whenever any type of strangling happens. It doesn't make as much sense as to why there was plastic in his mouth, unless it was an attempt to mask his screaming as he was strangled.

He was a friend from high school, what sickens me is that people treat this like a joke until it happens to someone standing right next to you in a yearbook photo. You people need to grow up and show some respect. He wasn't even twenty. His family loved him.

"The reason they let me live here is because it's supposed to be so safe." It must be a rule in journalism that whenever a gruesome murder happens, find at least one clueless dummy to interview who thought their neighborhood was somehow magically immune from such crimes.

"And how do you know he was gay?" He lives in Chelsea.

Let's not blame the victim before more facts are released. It could've been a homicide. And how do you know he was gay?

Sounds like rough gay sex gone awry...

and the mouth stuffed with plastic leads you to believe he did it himself?

They are not calling it a murder yet? Hmm, self-asphyxiation maybe?

I have lived in Chelsea for 6 years and I have always felt very safe. You have murders everywhere, so not telling your parents or flipping out is unwarranted.
