Media urged to end suicide ‘cover-up’

A CORONER has called on editors and journalists to end the evading and “cover-up” in the reporting of deaths by suicide.

These and other comments were made by John Cannon at this week’s sitting of Letterkenny Coroner’s Court.

He was speaking at the end of the inquest into the tragic death of a South African national who took his own life near Letterkenny last year.
