Friends believe bullying was behind gay teen's alleged suicide
[May not be suicide; but may have been stressed by bullying that agitated a cardiac condition]
Updated 1 /18/2011; KARE 11
MILTONA, Minn.-- Family and friends are mourning the death of a central Minnesota teenager whose alleged suicide may be related to bullying over his sexual orientation.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Department says Lance Lundsten, an 18-year-old student at Jefferson High School in Alexandria, took his own life on Saturday. On a Facebook memorial page dedicated to Lundsten, those who knew him are commenting that bullying over the fact Lunsten was openly gay may have played a role in his death.
Deputies responded to an emergency call at Lundsten's family's residence in Miltona around 10 p.m. Saturday. He was rushed to Douglas County Hospital where he died.
"According to his Facebook page, Lundsten was openly gay," reports KSAX-TV in Alexandria. "On a Facebook memorial page in Lundsten's honor, friends said that Lundsten had been bullied at school for his sexual orientation. Some students who knew Lundsten believed the bullying may have led to his suicide."
Lundsten's father reportedly called KSAX and said that the coroner ruled that Lance died not of suicide, but coronary edema. He said his son had an enlarged heart, and that neither drugs nor alcohol was found in the teen's system.
The funeral for Lundsten is scheduled for Tuesday evening.
"Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
