I think its absolutely critical that a persons death be remembered regardless of the method of death.
Covering up the death of suicide victoms prevents the much needed and due attention to the issue. If somebody kills themselves, attention should be brought to the matter as it can work to bring change.
Things only get worse when you sweep them under the carpet and pretend they don't exist.
People who kill themselves because of reading of anothers death are already very sick.
When I hear about people who think they have accomplished something by preventing a suicide, it doesn't make any sense to me. Preventing a suicide is meaninless unless you can actually do something to improve the indivudual's quality of life.
