In New Zealand there are very strict laws and it is a criminal offense to report suicides, but "suspected suicide"is now ok apparently.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/8014318 ... ed-to-knowUnlike other countries, New Zealand has criminal laws governing what can and can't be said when it comes to suicide, or suspected suicide.
New Zealand's laws have undergone recent changes but there is no suggestion the criminal law will be scrapped anytime soon.
WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?
The Coroner's Act 2006 restricts reporting or publicly discussing individual suicides.
Any person, including the media, cannot make public the details of a self-inflicted death.
The restriction aims to prevent copycat suicides.
A law change which came into effect on July 1 means that a death can be reported as a suspected suicide before the coroner has ruled on a case.
If the coroner's investigation finds the death to have been self-inflicted, only the deceased person's name, address, occupation, and the fact of the coroner's finding of suicide, may be published.
Edit : And in NZ it is ILLEGAL to discuss a suicide on Facebook or social media

^^ Some? You mean 'most'. 'Some' would imply something like less than 50%, whereas 'most' would be more than 50% (more likely 70 - 80% +).

I argued until I was blue in the face that it was better to expose what was going on but I was shut down each time. I thought if reported correctly, it could have helped the situation but the higher powers disagreed. It was very frustrating.

I don't know statistics sorry and I also didn't know the details of each suicide but as far as I remember it was not overwhelmingly aboriginal.Username Taken wrote:^^ Some? You mean 'most'.

HI Collette. My heart goes out to you. I have had two close friends take their lives over the years and I understand your need for answers. A friend of mine did Lifeline training once and said that the only real opportunity to talk someone out of suicide is in the actual moment, and I believe that to be the truth. You cannot hold someone's hand 24/7, so if you hold thoughts of regret or guilt, don't. It's entirely possible they made an irrational/rash decision under the influence of alcohol (or whatever) - it could be as simple as the thought of returning to the UK and their previous lives becoming overwhelming... or it could be any of a million possibilities. I hope someone does get in touch with you and share some information that helps you though. Take care.Collette wrote:If anyone met Robert in cambodia would you please consider e-mailing me.
