What awful news to hear. My thoughts are with the family and friends left behind,
Thoughts go out to the services that attended as well. So many murders and suicides that our services respond to and deal with, it has an impact on them to, as well as the poor family members. So tragic yet traumatic for all.
Very sad news, condolences to the family
Yes, sad for family – and they will have to wait up to two years for an inquest on this island
Unfortunately, they will have to wait up to two years for an inquest on this island

My thoughts are with you, poor soul XX
