I am appalled by the Western Front writers and staff in their decision to describe in graphic detail the passing of Dr. Michael Grimes. As a former student of his, and WWU Alum I would expect more integrity and professionalism from the staff and student writers. In light of the recentness of this tragedy, I would hope that some consideration would have been made for Michael's family, friends, student and colleagues reading this article, and the reactions that such explicit discussion of his passing would evoke in those for whom this loss is personal. I hope in the future you will be more considerate of those experiencing the personal loss of a person and will avoid publishing articles which are written purely for shock value such as this. Dr. Grimes is a man that deserves the utmost respect, and should be remembered by his family, students and colleagues for the life he lived, not the way in which he died. Shame on you.
