It would be enough to name the people (though do we even need to know that?) and give their reasons. We do not need to know how they did it. There are very good media guidelines on reporting suicide (see the Samaritans website) which were developed to help all journalists to report the subject sensitively. Please do take a read of them. Any reporting of suicide should include the details of a helpline. I'm not sure if your comments allow links but the website of Samaritans and Papyrus would be useful - http://www.samaritans.org/ and http://www.papyrus-uk.org/ If you do not want to publish this comment - please just add these links to your piece. thank you While I absolutely agree with you about the subject of this posting – that the welfare reform is killing people – I do worry about the way you have reported these suicides.
