Cyber suicide: time for global response

THE story of the two young men who died recently in a cyber suicide pact in a picturesque lake in Co Tyrone made very sad reading.

They died, as so many do in such circumstances, in isolation and loneliness.

That these depressed young men found each other on a website devoted to suicide is appalling. These sites should be shut down and internet service providers should come together to ensure this happens — which should not be too difficult in this technological age.
