RIP Kevin McCormick

The Boston Globe reports on the unusual circumstances surrounding the death of Kevin D. McCormick, a high school friend of mine who I hadn't heard from in years. Kevin was always an odd duck, but I never expected anything like this from him. He was one of the smartest and geekiest people I ever knew - someone who set up a retina scan for entrance to his MIT dorm room and had a robot maid to vacuum his place way back in the mid-90s. I hope that the investigators can get to the bottom of this mess, and rest in peace Kevin.
