I know I've commented on this before, but you virtually never hear the word 'suicide' used in reports in this country, it's always 'no suspicious circumstances'. The exception is in domestic violence when a man and his partner and children are found dead, there it might be mentioned, often obliquely. Anything that even hints at it is always followed by reference to Lifeline and Beyond Blue, two support services, and their crisis phone numbers and/or internet addresses.
