Hubby just got a call from work. A colleague has died. She hung herself.

Any idea how guilty everyone in his workplace feels atm?

It would depend on what happened that set the suicide in motion. If the victim was living an unliveable life, it would be understandable that they end their life. But, still, there is no reason to end your own life and make others around you feel terrible.

I do not see how anyone would feel guilty. There might be that hindsight guilt. But not for people to feel guilty. The issue about whether people have hindsight in thinking that they could have done something to prevent the suicide.

I don’t know the circumstances so I don’t really know how to answer you Rocky.

You need to interrogate Hubby.

I HAVE!

Nothing!

Niente!

So sad - commiserations to your Hubby.

I would expect there is no reason for feeling guilty of anything.

I have had someone I knew from work commit suicide, it is an awful feeling and in this case was completely unexpected.

It is a question.

There is no evidence there was an actual suicide.

You need to ask Lisa Jones that question. Only about 10% of what Lisa Jones publishes is true or factual. The same can be said of UnsubRocky.

UnsubRocky is angry because he got sucked into a bogus story and bleated his guts out about suicide while everybody else except softcock Grappler was frolicking.

UnsubRocky is a hypocrite because you turned the NZ Chinese restaurant attack into an incident worthy of mocking.

Try to keep your head straight.

There was no news of a suicide in a place of employment at the time LJ posted her bogus story, or in the past 7 days.

Therefore, LJ's story was bogus.

So, I go and criticise an axe-wielding maniac. But, that's a problem for you. But, I criticise you for blaming victims of suicide who played no part in the suicide. Oh, but you think that is your right.

Btw, the media does not report suicides. There would have to be a significant public interest in the interest for the media to be allowed to report a suicide.

A suicide in a workplace would be a matter of public interest to people considering being employed by that company.

It is not in the public interest to have a privately done suicide reported in the media. The media does not report suicides, due to the (stupid) perception that the reports will just encourage other people to want their 15 minutes of fame.

The only time suicides are reported is when the suicides are done publicly, that the people want some kind of explanation about what happened, but not to judge the act as a suicide. Someone running in front of a truck to end their own life would be reported as an accident.

Even suicides not related to the workplace in any way ?

Someone works for company x and they shoot themself when their wife walks out on them and it is the companies fault ?

Yes. Particularly if the wife has some association with the company.

People with personal non-company grievances are not going to commit suicide at work especially if they like their job or their boss.

Any suicide in a workplace will have some connection with the company.
