  Very sad, I note the family said they wanted to people know. I respect that, but also think the guidance in the editors code is worth baring in mind.

  I assume the reason the family wanted it in the open is to combat the shame and stigma associated not just with suicide but with bipolar disorder. One in three people with bipolar disorder attempt suicide, and half of them succeed in doing so. (the stats dispel the often romanticised image of our lives).
