| 1453036 | 2018-08-22 09:03:00 | Greg Boyed. I surmise by his own hand? It didn't have to be. Thanks Greg, for your insights, your entertaining us. RIP |

But this headline on the Herald annoyed me: 9015 I know people with mental illness depression. I know 2 who killed themselves too. And others have been in the news, albeit not media people or famous ones, so NOW it's a human face? That's a bit insulting to the others. |

If they are pronounced dead, then that is newsworthy too, purely for the medical skill required to detect the difference between actual brain death and normal behaviour in that occupational group. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 1453040 | 2018-08-31 22:11:00 | One journalist tells it how it is ... Why can't we use the S word? Not sex. Suicide. When the statistics are released, as they were 10 days ago, we have no problem with saying or writing the word then, and neither we should - because this country's suicide statistics are just shocking. We have a serious, serious issue and we cannot hide behind fancy words. Yet, when someone high profile dies by their own hand we revert to code. Died suddenly. Died unexpectedly. Had been suffering from depression. Why couldn't the reportage be straight to the point? Well said. Straight to the point. Thanks to this nameless journalist for telling it how it is.
