Trust me, if i had such a tragedy in my family the last thing I will be concerned about is how much attention am I receiving from the media!
Helping a family to see the remains of their son is not valuing one person's life over another. Has the student's mother made any statement saying they are being sidelined? It is presumptuous to say that her family has been ignored for the prof's family. You have a wierd way of looking into this issue.
