  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

Do families struggle to sell homes where someone has ctb? I don't want to leave them in trouble and unable to escape the memories by preventing them from being able to sell the home.

Probably. A local attorney shot his ex-wife (at least I think she was. They had a volatile relationship to say the least -- their kid was friends with one if my kids when they were in grade school) and her boyfriend in her home and then turned the gun on himself and ctb. IIRC the boyfriend also died, but the wife survived.

She tried and tried to sell that house. Hell, they couldn't even sell HIS house. She took a huge loss finally to get out from under it. Same thing happened with his estate. Had go sell his house (which was obviously in an upscale neighborhood and a beautiful home) at a loss.

Lots of people don't want to live somewhere where something really bad has happened.

I'm in Canada and recently purchased a house. Sellers are not required to disclose deaths in the home. Suicides are generally not reported in the media. It may differ by region, but I don't think it would be an issue in most situations.

In most homes at least one person has surely died, not by suicide but by natural causes. And families sell them without any problem.. (for example, my great-grandparents' house was sold several years ago when they both died)

And a young man committed suicide two blocks from my house. The house was uninhabited for at least five years until it was completely remodeled. It's now a large department store. Although his situation was more complicated because he had drug problems and owed money.

Definitely, if you (or your relative) make someone know about it. Here where I live, all it takes is for someone outside the house to know about it and soon the whole street will know about it. And then, future buyers who find out about it, for religious reasons, may avoid this place.
In my suicide note, I advised that no one here should tell the reason, unless they want to have a huge devaluation in the value of the property when they sell in a few years. Personally, not even I, who am a deist, would not like to live in a house where someone killed himself. It's a cursed memory.
