Please be careful with your words if you are sending condolences. Individuals DIE by suicide; they do not commit suicide. “Committed suicide” implies a nearly criminal motivation. Saying someone “died by suicide” absolves them of responsibility and permits a conversation about the illness or condition rather than placing blame or raising why!
Once more, exercise caution. For many people, seeing content like that go viral serves as a trigger!
Please if you have any relevant information in regards to the occurrence of this event, do contact the police or any other local authorities responsible for the investigation of this matter. More information about this event will be made available subsequently. Please do not panic!
