Original Note:
For context, Aaron Bushnell committed suicide. According to Samaritans, “…it is advisable to avoid overly dramatising a suicide, as this can romanticise or glorify the behaviour and inadvertently promote it to people who may be vulnerable.” https://media.samaritans.org/documents/Suicide_and_self_harm_Literature_FINAL.pdf https://smeharbinger.net/prevention-not-promotion-glorification-of-suicide-in-media-is-detrimental-to-those-struggling-mentally/
