Hi folks,
This is my first post. Never thought I'd be in this position due to overcoming so much and being a die-hard optimist, but an act of human cruelty and a spot of bad luck has destroyed my health, physically, and I've been in emotional turmoil for about 10 months. I'm sleeping just to escape the pain. Unfortunately, I'm experiencing what bad luck can do and how things and circumstances can unravel to a point where it's almost as if someone, or something, is just being plain cruel, and all your values, ideals, and respect you worked for can be turned on their head. I'm tired of how destructive the acts of a few shitty people with no empathy can be. I also think there's such thing as too much for a person, and too little too late, etc as I'm finding out, and also things can accumulate quietly in life. I feel like I'm actually living the hell that healthier people talk about never understanding when referring to a suicidal person.
Anyway as for the forum, it's too surreal to have an opinion on. I've lurked for a few months, and some really nice and sincere people have cropped up. I found it very surreal to begin with, almost like I was being naughty looking at it. Then it felt surreal again then it felt comforting and normal and remained so. I do find it a little traumatic when every so often I see a name crossed out of a goodbye thread and think a few days later, "fucking hell that person actually died". That's assuming they actually did, which is for another thread.
My first question, is a simple one. When it comes to commiting suicide in the UK in a public place using a standard method, does the suicide get reported only where the suicide happened? For instance, if Bob was from X village in Devon and he killed himself 200 miles away in Y town woods in Birmingham, the local Y town news in Birmingham would obviously report it and mention "man named/unnamed from Devon/X village in Devon".....BUT would it be reported by his local news back in Devon? Even if it was just a smaller mention? As for National news that just appears to be pot luck.
Thanks a lot.
