what happens when a student tries to kill themselves/does kill themself?

[ASKBiblitz]

There is a tacit agreement btwn universities and the media about reporting suicide by youngsters. Much depends on the circs of how the body is discovered and by whom. Despite social media, most student suicides usually around exam time go unreported in the media. This is to deter others in similarly desperate circs who might be tempted to follow suit. Certainly police would have attended and an inquest would have followed.It would take time to ascertain the cause of death. Each university may have different rules about how such information is revealed and to whom. See http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/coroners/child...8-2012.pdf for one jurisdiction's approach. See esp p. 18 on media reporting.
