Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 5/20/12: Social media abuzz over the death of recent Yale graduate Marina Keegan. The first cruel paragraphs of Marina Keegan's obituary trickled onto my Facebook news feed at 2:30 Sunday morning. Wayland Woman Dies in Dennis Car Crash a link to the Boston Globe Metro Desk blog reported. The story announced that Ms. Keegan on Saturday had died when the 1997 Lexus ES300 in which she was riding careened into a guardrail and rolled over twice on a stretch of highway on Cape Cod known as Suicide Alley. The driver of the vehicle survived. Route 6 eastbound was blocked for two hours, police said. Two friends had shared the link before I went to sleep. Ms. Keegan had graduated from Yale University a week before her death. As someone who entered Yale with Ms. Keegan in 2008, I was stunned. I knew Ms. Keegan only from her byline in the Yale Daily News. Memories of her personal essays, bare and honest, made my heart race, my stomach mourn. She was set to start a job with The New Yorker in June. As with others lost too early, I thought, the world would be deprived tragically of Ms. Keegan's wit and wisdom. But on Sunday evening, a surprising post popped up on Facebook.
