Counselors should be able to talk about suicide with the kids who are trying to wrap their heads around this, but I think it's reasonable to not talk about the cause of death for this specific kid. There are privacy laws, and they can't share information with other kids about whatever issues this lid was dealing with.

They can use this as an opportunity to talk in general about teen suicide, and about how even if you think someone has all their shit together, you probably are wrong.
