Reporting on suicides is a notoriously delicate thing to do, because while a news organization doesn't want to ignore a leading cause of death, it doesn't want to inspire copycats, either, and peer-reviewed published research shows that print coverage of suicide does precisely that. I'm not here blaming the Times for contributing to these suicides, but the coverage is something the editors may want to consider and review carefully given the current situation.
