Is publicizing a crime or event...?

The comedian Robin Williams committed suicide, by hanging, and the press is having a field day with it. They are not calling it a suicide but a "death."

Do you feel that this publicity and reckless attitude toward self harm increases the likelihood that others, especially those who admired him, would follow suit or that it legitimizes suicide by not condemning it?

    Perhaps this "death or suicide" could provide dialogue regarding a number of related items. For instance, psycho-tropic drugs and their side effects, material success and its inconsistencies, and the sociological effects and interactions with a toxic, loveless, non-supportive culture.
