And no one geotraced the location based on the pic and then went over local newspaper reports or emergency services logs about a potential suicide in the area? It's a high enough location for the suicide to make it to the newspapers.
Anyway, my stance on online suicide declarations of anonymous randos on the internet is that I don't have the bandwidth to care. It's like seeing suffering people on the news or in some NGO commercial asking for donations. The imagery has been rendered meaningless due to repeated attempts at emotional manipulation.
who would care other than his friends and family
Depending on the area, lawyers might care. If they only significantly maim themselves trying to suicide, sometimes they can sue the builders/architects for not making a suicide-proof construction, and the lawyer doing that suing would get a payday.
A family member in healthcare informed me a while back that an arterial bridge near me was closed quite often without any reporting because of "mental health crises" occurring there cyclically.
I never see media reports about either the bridge delays or the successful suicides. Of course there's perpetual construction delays there anyway, so it's not like anyone would notice.
I could easily believe there's media suppression campaigns to not report details over some faggoty rationale like fear of copycats.
