I'm afraid this conclusion is exactly what I and many others expected, but I suspect no evidence will ever be enough for the parents because it's simply not what they want to believe.

Thanks for the information! Hopefully one I can view will be available to view soon, or some kinda soul might quote the article for my witless self?!

In the top left of the article there's a box that says for subscribers only, I may have viewed too many CNN articles before? A box pops up asking me to subscribe for a year or pay 4 bucks for a monthly viewing.

Sometimes when that happens one can disregard that annoying box and still see the (faded but legible) text of the article in the background.

It's also possible for non-USians that you need to find your country's CNN URL (rather than bringing up the US version) and then search for keywords to find the article.

Good to know!!! Thank you!! I apologize for asking!

Sadly it sounds like they lived in a very "virtual" world. I wonder if this helps explain the lack of peers and others outside of the family coming forward when speaking of them? Such a sad case.

I don't want to believe it either. That doesn't mean I don't accept it, though. I do. Yet, this one is going to haunt me forever.

I look at these twin brothers and I just don't see two lives already over.

IMO, it's part of human nature to want to understand. I so want to understand, but I know I never will. For me, that's harder to accept.

My attempt was also blocked by a paywall, but on my iPhone I’m able to choose Show Reader and then I can read the full article. I hope that helps.

I wish the kids had left a note, making it clear what they were doing, if not why. And that the parents weren't to blame.

Because if they accepy it, the family will blame themselves (or each other).

This just hurts my heart. I'm in the ATL area, and I have twin sons (older than these young men were) who are so very close.
It feels worse to me that it ended up being suicide. It would have been terrible if they had been murdered, but the fact that these beautiful young men felt that they had no other choice but to do what they did is just tragic.
So very sad.
IMO.
