Wasn't sure if I should talk to him about it, but I didn't want him hearing things and not understanding what had happened.

Just did the same thing. But without the pictures.

Then, he asked me .. "Can we go see them ?". He doesn't quite grasp death yet, but I explained it a little more. He then said .. "OK, let's never go there daddy".

On another note, his school sent a note home in his folder outlining their "commitment to security, and safety of our children". It gave us some details of some of their procedures and precautions.
