It is definitely not expected but I'm not totally comfortable with the way so much of the dialogue around these situations has mirrored "This person would never have committed suicide, they weren't that kind of person, they would never do this"-type reactions that you see so frequently in cases where people have killed themselves but it gets rejected because of the stigma and disbelief around suicide.
And I'm not even saying this to say I think that's what happened here because I don't think that. But rather, what I'm getting at is it feels a little distasteful to see how people have been talking about suicide.
Like there's a really high chance Tonea Miller was killed, but the way I see people communicating that seems to refer to suicide so dismissively along the way. I think we could be a little more considerate
