I don't know anyone who knew the man, and I personally have no sympathy for anyone who commits suicide. Yet I still find the picture in very poor taste. I guess Arab journalism has different standards from the UK.

And as Dora said, if it was a member of my family I'd be outraged to open the morning paper and find a picture like that staring back at me.

The only way the picture could have been justified would be if they were writing a piece about how City Center should do something about health and safety and erect higher barriers or suicide nets. But of course that would have involved a piece of real journalism, which they're not allowed to practice.
