How families of college suicide victims are fighting for change

Timothy "Akil" Hamlett disappeared after leaving his family's New Jersey home in December 2014. That would be the last time Katherine and Archibald Hamlett saw their only child alive. He had been missing for nearly five months when the New York Police Department found his remains in the Hudson River. His death was ruled a suicide. Hamlett was a successful track runner and student at the University of Pennsylvania. He's one of seven suicides that have rocked the Penn community over the last two years. The Hamlett family has worked with undergraduate David Cahn to champion the Hamlett-Reed Initiative — a sweeping proposal of university policy changes named after Tim Hamlett and another Penn student who died by suicide. In this America Tonight excerpt, Lisa Fletcher speaks with Hamlett's family and Cahn about why this proposal is about more than simply changing university policy.
