I feel like all "sensational" deaths, such as car accidents, murders, deaths in house fires, are all reported. Suicides seem to fall in that same category. All those families are also devastated. I don't see a difference. Care must be taken in how suicide is reported, as mentioned in that article. It is such an opportunity to educate, talk, and save lives - just as in done after a DWI death.

For me, the remaining question in the revealing of names. I think that should be left to the family to decide. But, who can make a decision at that time?

I do understand love and respect for the people lost to sucide. I also repsect the pain of the suviving family members since I'm one of them. And because of that, I'll do anything to prevent another family from going through this.
