It is very sad but did it really need to be done in a childrens park?

I believe if a man or woman is driven to suicide, for whatever reason, the last thing on their mind is where they are leaving their body.
Thoughts are with his family RIP.

Before people write comments about childrens parks they should remember that this is what the paper has put. Please respect the family and keep your comments to yourself and think what the family is feeling trying to deal with the loss and reading rubbish

It is only being assumed it is suicide, its not been reported by the papers or confirmed by postmortem.
It could quite possibly be a very tragic accident through what I have heard from his neighbours and friends.
My condolences to his family x

Before people make comments can they please remember this man was a decent, hard working father, I knew him and he wouldn't have taken his own life, this was a tragic accident not a suicide.
Please show the appropriate respect and give us time to grieve his passing.
Thank you.

I know it's sad when somebody feels in such a low place they they want to kill themselves but not in a million years is it fair for a child to or multiple children to go into that park on a busy saturday morning and find a dead body. There would be uproar if it was a murder and the body had been left in a children's park but because it is a potential suicide it is apparently ok that children may find the body. A child would be scared for life finding that and who knows what issues the child could grow up having. Nobody should feel so low that they don't want to live but I feel that it really is unfair to do that.

Some people just amaze me in this world today. NO ONE WOULD INTENTIONALLY GO OUT TO SCARE, CAUSE ISSUES FOR A CHILD! No one knows what really happened.

untill you have experienced the loss of a loved one in such a tragic way i would keep your opinions to yourself! For your information this was not a suicide. stop believing what you read in the papers as yet again the news shopper have failed to give the correct information. so as for chelsey123 and rudders26 i suggest you express your opinions on a lighter subject or tune into the jeremy kyle show and leave us to greive in peace.
Thank you

Firstly I sincerely apologise to anyone if my comment about it taking place in a children's park upset anyone, that was not my intention. What Jeremy Kyle has to do with this is beyond me. As you say this has been reported incorrectly and is not a suicide may I sensitively And with respect ask what did happen?

First all, my sincere condolences to the family, friends and neighbours of this young man.

What ever happened and whoever may be involved, let's remember that a man has lost his life. It is very very sad.

Nothing yet on what really happened, but even so If the man did chose to do this himself, do you really think he was in the right state of mind to think to himself "oh best not got to a childrens park incase i upset someone" honestly!!! IF and i say If as we do not know what happened, this poor man did feelthat low then he had enough worries and probably couldnt care about anything. IF on the other hand this was someone elses doing then yes you could say why did they choose a children play park - would it be because they were sick enough to know the person would be found as its a busy place and near the police station??
My condolences to the poor mans family. lets hope he rests in peace! xx
