Language of suicide can be difficult to hear
I refer to Patrick Strudwick's article (Irish Independent, March 30) regarding gay men in soccer.
It is unfortunate that Mr Strudwick used the word "committed" in the context of a suicide so many years after the once crime of suicide has been decriminalised. It is a regular occurrence that the word "committed" in the context of a suicide is still used liberally by both print and audio-visual media.
