I know that all of us feel very sad to read this report today.

I believe many newspapers do not cover suicides unless they also involve a murder, kidnapping or some other crime related somehow to the incidents.
The Villages Daily Sun has covered a few of these though in the almost 18 years we have lived here. There was one involving someone jumping off the 27/441 bridge near Paradise Park and traffic having to swerve or something like that. Melinda Duckett's suicide and a few others.
