Prevent media reporting details of inquests in cases of suicide

Petition Details

Suicide is such a tragic thing, yet the media can in most cases freely report on inquests, including graphic details of the events surrounding suicides. This can add to the suffering of those impacted by the suicide, and I believe it is of no value to the public to be made aware of such details.

Additional Information

I believe there is no benefit to the general public whatsoever to have access to full and personal details surrounding a person's death by suicide. Therefore I would request that the government prevents the press from reporting details of inquests in cases of suicide.
