Student jumps to death after being filmed with man

A UNIVERSITY student jumped to his death from a bridge after a recording of him having a sexual encounter with a man was broadcast online.

Tyler Clementi, 18, who was studying at Rutgers University in New Jersey, USA, jumped from the George Washington Bridge.

Gay rights groups say Tyler Clementi’s suicide makes him a national example of a problem they are increasingly working to combat: young people who kill themselves after being tormented over their sexuality.
