I posted about this earlier, got little to nil response....! But its only since my post its been announced officially that it was suicide

RIP Ms Flack... No doubt suicide awareness will get heightened awareness for a while since a celeb died. Then no doubt sites like this will be blamed again.

I have noticed as stated before, that when the famous die, rarely questions are asked, and the name of said famous person goes into respect and is left,
its the person next door who gets their life ripped to shreds and no reason for their choice is allowed...

 

[GinaIsReady]

I wonder how she did it.

I just heard and came to see if someone had started a thread

This is a sad story.
Anyone who feels like they have no option but to CTB is a sad story.
The world is harsh and cruel and celeb or not (Robin Williams, Keith Flint, Caroline Flack) no one is immune to the difficulties of mental illness.
As we all know there will be more to this story than meets the eye and is reported in the media.
I wasn't a fan of Caroline Flack, but I sincerely hope that she is resting and that those near and dear to her can make sense of the insanity of this situation.
And I honestly and sincerely say that I feel this way for all who loose someone and especially to suicide.
The world needs peace, kindness, compassion, understanding, humility and forgiveness and I wish these thing for all of our brothers and sister.
DBD

I don't really know who she is but my mother read me the story in the paper earlier and made her usual typical bitchy remarks....' oh person from love island kills them self...she was 40 years old, must have been losing her looks and decided she didn't want to live past 40...that's the problem with shows like that, Instagram blah blah blah'

Something very odd with Love Island. Why are there so many suicides associated with this show?..

It's to do with parasocialism. The famous often get more sympathy since theyre published and posted everywhere so the general public can catch glimpses into their lives, which gives the viewer a one sided relationship with said person.

The same has happened with fictional characters. They're have been studies done that show people will feel more sadness if they're favourite character dies compared to an irl acquaintance.

It's largely down to these parasocial relationships that fictional characters and celebrities can get away with, and get more sympathy than the average person.

I wasn't surprised to read about this sadly. something about her sadly lead me to think she might end up down this route. Being in the public eye and having some kind of mental illness it wasn't a surprise, very sad news obviously. The press don't half tear her apart. I'm very worried how my own death might be representethe press, especially if I take the SN route as it seems to be associated with hazmat suits and chemical worry. I apologise as I have had a bit to drink and I'm struggling to maintain normality after drinking quite a bit lol x

 

[Deathbydemo]

I'm really curious about how she did it. Hopefully now she is at peace.

 

[bluesky1972-2019]

I hope she is at peace now away from this evil sick world we live in. She was brave to CTB. Peace and Love to all who are touched by this.

 

[JSauter]

How did she kill herself?

 

[bigtasty]

I may of been under a rock but I did not expect her to ctb anytime soon, I hope she's found peace.

Shocked to hear Caroline Flacks death. I was hoping that she'd be found not guilty and she'd get on with her life and back in love island ,( even though I don't watch it). The boyfriend dropped the case on his part but from what I read the crown prosecution service (CPS) went ahead with it.

Hope she rests in peace. She'll be missed

 

[MsMaudlin]

I'm not a fan of Love Island, but her suicide has made me sad.
The court case which the gutter press loved to rave about, was obviously too shameful for her.
Combined with her not being able to see the man she loved and the CPS carrying on with the case, her losing her job, just a downward spiral.
RIP Caroline Flack ❤

Her suicide was the third one in 18 months

Hung herself per British radio host Alex Belfield.

Oh gosh, I was curious too x

I'd think we'd have to be very sceptical about how she'd died until it came out in the cause of death because it'll be bound to come out of the corornors office

Sure is a sick evil world. When I saw someone say it makes them so happy it made me so angry

I've seen quite a few on twitter :(

 

[Mr2005]

I've seen quite a few on twitter :(

It was here. Not for those reasons. Just selfish ones that they know people can achieve suicide. All about them. No thought to her or her family whatsoever.

 

[Suicide_vampire]

I posted my condolences earlier on this thread but I thought I might add yet another dimension to the discussion.
This is now the 3rd suicide related to the show Love Island, now while Caroline's death is probably more related to her upcoming court case, one has to wonder whether the show is a contributing factor.
There is constant criticism of sites like this one for their part in suicides. But where is the criticism of Love Island, or is it that the show generates too much income to even consider taking it off the air.
Just my opinion

Ah right sorry thought you meant like Twitter. I'm wondering how the person who found her is this morning. Probably not good and deeply shocked and tramatized by finding her dead

Jeremy Kyle was taken off the air after 1

 

[Suicide_vampire]

Jeremy Kyle was taken off the air after 1

Yes but Jeremy Kyle was seen as appealing to one type of audience, the lower classes etc. While Love Island is glamorous.
Think it was more a class sort of decision with that one.

 

[JohnUK]

Never liked Jeremy Kyle show

 

[Mr2005]

Jeremy Kyle was trash but that's not the point. Or maybe it is and they'd been looking for an excuse to get rid for some time
