I even though I don't condone of what Cho Seung-Hui did, I certainly hope he had a nice funeral service with all of his family and friends. I'm sure his parents loved him. It's sometimes hard to be a loner. I would know. Haha! I'm one, but wouldn't handle it the way Cho did. Anyway, I'm just wondering, what do you think happened to Cho's body? I'm sure Cho's parents miss him and gave him a nice funeral service with all of his family and friends.

i dont think he had too many friends honestly because he was strange and a loner, so maybe a small funeral made up of relatives

I hope so too, It will be so hard for his family to carry on with the memory of this one act affecting every memory they have of their son. He wasn't always crazy. I'm sure his family loved him very much. What a tragedy for all concerned. My prayers are with everyone who experienced this horror. I hope that if anyone feels so alone and isolated that they would find someone to talk to. Even this forum can be a means of reaching out. There are lots of caring people at this site.

Every human being deserves the right to have a funeral. After all it is for the family and friends, not for the departed.

Sassmall *** I agree w/ your statement about Asian society and shame. I am Asian too. We do have completely different values from Western culture. On a universal level Cho did a horrific thing to other people. But in an Asian sense, I think losing face meant a lot to him and his family. This is something some other cultures can't understand about Asian culture. Because he was teased at school for being a 'chink', stammering in his speech, not doing as well as his sister he brought shame to his family. I think some Asian parents who migrate really do expect too much out of their children, sometimes for the better but in turn it can erase who the person really is. Even if an Asian is brought up in Western society it doesn't make them completely Western as they live in an Asian family and operate under different rules at home and w/their community. I think some Asian parents can place far too much pressure to succeed amongst their children. Cho studying English instead of Business is regarded as a bold move for an Asian person. He did not take the normal route of medicine, law, finance, business as most Asians do. So I am sure he defied his parents wishes as he seeked to create individuality for himself. I think also, the racism he faced was tiring and stressful for him. Apparently, he had a speech impediment as evidenced by the video footage. He still speaks as if he's afraid to really have a voice. This is probably because he was made to suppress himself in front of his parents, classmates in school who told him to 'go back to china' when he had to read. I am in no way agreeing with his actions. But as a Buddhist and I am sure in other religions we must learn to forgive. To be human is to err. I think this is a wake up call for Asian parents to stop putting enormous amount of pressure onto their children. Start loving them, support them for who they are, not what you want them to be. I know this as I was a teacher in Asia and saw the considerable amount of pressure from parents onto children from a very young age. Some children looked so miserable and unloved. If his sister was the overachiever, it is no wonder the parents felt shame as Asian society is still patricarchial. It is still the boy's duty to do well. Even if he was being teased at school, if he had a loving home at least he could endure the abuse at school. He obviously studied English as a way of communication to strengthen his weaknesses. All I can say is to parents, don't have children unless you can help them up when they fall down.

I hope so. Funerals are for those left behind, not the dead, and his family & friends are probably the most hurt.

I agree that he shouldn't have solved it that way, but, I don't know if I could take going to my son's funeral, when he did such a horrible thing and you thought he was somebody else.

I sure hope they had a funeral for the family's closure.
I am sure it was small and very private.
