Great discussion this and some great views expressed. Personally i agree with Stu, as i dont follow football i didn't know who gary speed was until a few days ago, but after reading the news story's i did think it was kind of suspicious

But as people have said you can never tell whats going on behind closed doors. Someone can seem as happy as anything but when they are by themselves who knows what going on in there heads

As for the army not getting much of a mention i just feel that it is kind of in their job description really..In MY honest opinion i feel they get too much of the spotlight when one of them dies. Yes it is sad for them and there family but its not like it isn't highlighted in the job description so to speak.




You make a fair point about the danger surrounding the job, but they should be commended for the job that they do, which asks a lot of a person. However, due to the high number of deaths, it may appear to some as "repetitive" news and the media likes to report the latest on-goings.

I believe there should be a cool off period for bereaved families before the press can approach them. It must be hard enough to accept what has happened without some freelance photographer sticking a giant camera in you face and following you to the shops or camping outside your house




I actually disagree with this. I believe the news should be up to the minute keeping us fully up to date.

It's just a pity the investigating isn't done in a far more respectful manner. I'm sure the majority of families wouldn't mind talking to journalists who genuinely care and wish to share the message about the death and pay respects. Rather than just trying to sell papers and get the best photo.




I can't agree with you there. If my someone in my family commited suicide the last thing I would want is to pose for a picture and tell the reporters what has happened, especially when it happened less than 2 hours ago. The reporters aren't doing it for our sake, it's for their pockets. There should atleast be a law passed stating if your not welcome by the family, you must respect there privacy and leave. It can take weeks, if not months and years for the grieving process to subside and in this time, you are fragile and need to sort your head out, not going telling the press 'ye he hanged himself' or 'he was killed by some random bloke the funeral will be whenever'
