Does anyone know about the suicide/murder in the park? I walked there early this morning with my partner and the gates were all closed excpet for the one by the lake and the area around the shelter in the Japanese Garden area was cordined off with Police tape. Passersby were saying a body had been found in the shelter by a member of the public early this morning and that it was either a murder or a suicide. I'd be reassured to know if it was the latter, sad as it may be. I walk there every day, quite early too.


Thanks

This is very sad news indeed. I hope his family and friends are able to do their best to deal with this tragedy. If there is one practical thing anyone can do after hearing this news it's to really understand that depression is a killer and to try to reach out to people who go through it, whatever its guise.

wht is it being assumed this person suffered from depression,just because someone decides to take their life it dosent mean they suffer from depression or any type of mental illness for that matter. i do appreciate that sometimes it does go hand in hand but there are numerous other reasons why people commit suicide and not just because they are depressed.

Of course I know that Mark, but my comment was referring to Spadetownboy's assertion that you don't have to be depressed to commit suicide.

I would think that being very lonely leads to depression 'a disorder characterised by extreme gloom, feelings of inadequacy and inability to concentrate' ergo not cheery, happy and carefree. And does excitement make one feel like ending it all? Obviously there are many states of mind and many emotions but how many of these can be described as above and lead one to end one's life. Heartbreak maybe, but again does that not lead on, in its worst case, to what is termed depression?

Depression is a state of mind - not an emotion.

I agree that depression isn't always the cause of suicide, but the cowardice thing always annoys me! As far as I'm concerned, it would take a lot of guts to top yourself, and it's not "the coward's way out"!

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
