Hi, Jen. I just did a search for a news update and wasn't able to find one. Do you have anything you'd like us to post? The way Accident Data Center works is that we link to news sites, so none of our content is original--we're just quoting what news sites say so that people have all of the information in one place, and it's hard to keep up with stories as time passes. We're always happy to shed light on a situation from friends and family, though, so if you know of an article we can add to the report, please let us know! ADC is also glad when we can be the bearers of good (or at least less-bad) news. We're very sorry for your loss.  Jane Lindelof, Accident Data Center staff
