Why would it be a surprise that people change their opinion or become more vocal after something serious occurs to the people involved.
This is Techcrunch, all they're doing is combing back through his public postings to find something they can inappropriately hype as significant.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I actually tried to submit it before "martinoma" but was told that I was submitting too often. It's hard to say if TC really did submit its own story - throwaway accounts are quite common nowadays.

Just in this case, I'd suggest giving them the benefit of doubt.
24 points in 26 minutes should have this article in the #2 slot, not #26. Is HN downmodding because it doesn't like the mirror?

I think it's petty to think as such. Aaron Swartz has been a major topic of discussion on the HN Front Page for a couple of days now, hence it could very well have been instantly submitted to HN by some over-zealous HN reader as well. (Do remember that a sizable number of new users have joined since the initial news about Aaron's death.) Just in this case, I'd suggest giving them the benefit of doubt.
