While I don’t think details should ever be shared, I think that it’s OK to say the student “died by suicide.” At my 20-year-old nephew’s funeral, his father said we have to talk about “the elephant in the room” and admit that suicide is a problem. Word is going to get out, anyway, so I think it’s better to be upfront about it.
