Is suicide a norm, or still news worthy?





In the L.A. Times they have a page on there website where it says 'Breaking news' this was one of the first stories. Apparently a lady in her mind 40's commited suicide. Using a chainsaw. That's a pretty gruesome way to go. Also her body was left there for about 24 hours, so starting to smell a bit but her neighbors didn't think much of it. Now my question is should news articles like this be published when there may be a lot of other news worthy things going on? Or is it just the gruesome deaths that are o.k. to publish?
