No need for details

It is with great sadness that I read your May 14 article "N&O seeks release of Carson autopsy report." Is anyone there a mother or father? If this were your child, would you want such horrible details to be made public and dragged through the news? In no way would that further this case at all. It serves only to pander to the lowest common denominator and to fuel a sick desire for "all the gory details," all the while forgetting that this is a real person with a real mother and a real father and a real brother who would be best served to be able to remember the happy times with Eve and not have to think about what she went through at the end.

Please reconsider this and set an example for all of the news outlets by being respectful of their pain.
