So true. I've seen a video of a guy on the M60 Barton Bridge. He parked on the top, got out, walked to the barrier and hopped over, just as easy as if he was parking at home and hopping over the garden gate.

He didn't cry for attention.

Going to stand on a bridge or whatever for hours THREATENING to kill yourself is a cry for attention.

i'd rather call it a cry for help mate-a guy hung himself today on a local track that we go to almost everyday, kids walk by all the time, he left a note and his nephew found him, i'd rather he climbed onto a bridge and sat for hours and maybe got given the help so clearly needed-i've lost a family member through suicide and it has got to be one of the most painful ways for someone to lose a loved one-so many questions that cannot be answered..

The local radio station heard and played..........

Cue complaints, wailing a gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands etc.

Lol, I like that

On a serious note, I think its terrible when things get so bad they committ or attempt suicide, lifes too precious.

Euthanasia is a different thing though, if you're terminally ill or heavily disabled with no standard of life you should be able to have assisted suicide.

My thoughts exactly. It just came up in again in 'most viewed' or something. Don't understand how it happened unless there was a similar related story doing the rounds. Odd.
