Why is he mentioned when he only was one out of a lot of their former students, who died after graduation? I know that his father lived a public life. Is that the reason? As researchers progress in their work reading obituaries all over the states in order to blast their marketing statistic, it becomes clear that an early exit from life is a trend. There are several cases under investigation right now beside them on record. Covergaard (talk) 04:31, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

He is mentioned because his father is notable and because there is extensive WP:RS support for the story of his attending ASR and his subsequent death. (Basically, he is the first entry for a "notable alumni" section. However, this article is still far too short to be divided into sections.) The source you cite (http://www.secretprisonsforteens.dk) does not appear to meet WP:RS criteria.
I researched his story and added the info to this article after someone else had tried to add an unsourced POV-ish statement about him to the Aspen Education Group article. --Orlady (talk) 11:45, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
