Just a heads up, it's better to use the phrase "died by suicide" instead of "committed" to remove the stigma of it.
if there's a stigma i don't think phrasing changes anything.
It's more than that, but I didn't want to get off-topic. I just leave this here for anyone interested.

Thank goodness.
These superhero retcons are going too far!
Removing the stigma of suicide
what in the everloving fuck does this even mean
As somebody who has attempted suicide I can confirm it's a real thing. For example, staff at the hospital could be quite dismissive and imply I was just immature and should grow out of it or that it's "cowardly" (which has to be my most hated response.) People who have not suffered depression can often see it as selfish or worse and it is a problem. That being said, I don't mind if people say 'committed suicide'. As long as people are understanding of suicide in general, I don't find those words offensive in any way.
Hospital staff dismissing suicide, could they possibly be more childish and asinine than that
I'd even say someone shouldn't be a practitioner if they can't take suicide seriously
Shocking.
It's normally nurses. Doctors have always been brilliant but nurses are highly variable dependent on area, etc.
