We get it. They died. It's tragic but this coverage is unnecessary and gratuitous.

It's tragic

It's probably sad for the people who are connected, but it's not really all that tragic. Some people died doing something extremely risky.

I find the 19yo kid’s death tragic. He was probably coerced into going. Everyone else, I quite agree with you.

Honestly, at 19, he's legally an adult in most (all?) countries. If he was 5 or 10 I'd agree with you 100%. I'm sure his parents/upbringing/whatever shaped his decision-making, but dude was old enough to make his own decisions.
