" I think that is was distasteful to include that he died of an apparent self-inflicted gun-shot wound to the head. It just needed to be reported that he was identified. I think it was crude to include this detail without thinking about had all the family been notified yet. It is very disrespect ful for the family to have told them before they found out through the phone. All you had to report was foul play was not suspected. "
