Most discussions of the media and suicide proceed from a concern about suicide contagion or "copycat suicides." There is evidence of a link between graphic, heroic, or romantic portrayals of suicide and subsequent suicidal behavior by vulnerable, high-risk individuals, youths or otherwise, who have been exposed to such coverage. However, there is more to the issue. There are the millions of people in the US and elsewhere who have lost a loved one to suicide. They have experienced the most traumatic type of loss and may spend many years or even decades trying to cope with it. They too stand to be hurt by inconsiderate treatments of suicide in the media.

Off-Broadway producer Fred Caruso, who was behind the hit “Newsical,” died Monday in an apparent suicide, leaving behind a chilling goodbye on Facebook.

Caruso’s writer friend Rick Crom confirmed the tragic news on Tuesday, writing “Fred M. Caruso has left us” and described him as a “tortured soul.”

Caruso co-wrote and co-directed film “The Big Gay Musical,” as well as “Go Go Crazy.”
