858883 2010-02-16 01:28:00 Today's news of the finding of the body of the missing girl in Wellington Harbour is bad enough.

Onslow College has just recently had a suicide pact :(

I hope today's finding isn't part of another :(

Just in off the Police site:



Title: Identification made of Wellington body

The body of a young female has been formally identified as that of missing teenager Olivia Rutherford.

Detective Senior Sergeant Paul Borrell says preliminary findings suggest that, although an absolute tragedy, there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding this death.

The matter is likely to be referred to the Coroner and therefore any comments relating to circumstances cannot be made at this time. The post mortem examination will take place tomorrow.

858888 2010-02-16 20:13:00 Suicide pacts?

They appear to be gathering popularity :( :( :(

But the Media and others are keeping quiet about them. Understandable I guess.

There are quite strong prohibitions on the media publishing details about suicides these days. Apparently some of the experts on suicide say there is a copy cat effect when there is publicity. The media is unhappy about it, and not all experts agree on the issue.

I would go with the copycat scenario for high school kids just going on my two kids. One of my sons wont play his violin in high school orchestra because its got a purple tinge in the wood. Other one would rather have no mobile than a non flip phone.

858891 2010-02-16 22:17:00 There have certainly been clusters of suicides occurring in the past amongst particular cohorts of young people who knew each other. I seem to remember there was one in the Fielding area some years ago. John H (8)
