College kids not being able to make a long distance relationship work isn't shocking and isn't a story. Having your girlfriend die is something that people are going to jump all over.
At first thought, when it comes to the death of the girl...it seems like he either thought this person actually existed (regardless of whether he knew it wasn't a real relationship) and that she actually died. In that case his televised sorrow may or may not be legitimate. Or that he knew noone associated in this died and he embellished for the media. It is the "killing off" of this fantasy person that is so puzzling. I have no idea what to think of his involvement or lack of involvement. No idea.

No, she's on her death bed and he doesn't visit her once. In fact, he's never met her in person. And her twitter account wasa set up by his good friend Reniah Tuiasasopo or whatever hsi name is.
He wanted some notariety and so he killed her off and made a big show about how brave he was to go on "even though the love of his life just died". How was she the love of his life when he never even met her?
"Her" sister got on line and Teo wanted some people to follow her on twitter. He said she was one of the "realist" people he knows! He never met her either obviously. He was just having fun with it.
