totally agree BUT what is the totally random paragraph on someone wishing him a Happy Birthday on facebook who just happens to be female? Totally out of place and attempting to put something into the mix, which at the moment is not there.

Why is he more important or more newsworthy than for example

"Unknown random person hangs themselves due to spiraling debts caused by banks"

I assume its intimating that the banking crisis is pushing those involved at a higher level to suicide. Though whether or not his death has anything to do with work they don't know. Also there have been a number of stories about unknown random people who have committed suicide due to debts, excessive gas bills recently wasn't it? and this one over a £200k business debt - BBC NEWS | Wales | North West Wales | Brother's plea after debt suicide and this over student debt Mother of suicide debt student blasts banks for loans - mirror.co.uk. In the states there are hundreds of stories of suicides related to the crisis all the time. I think reporting is quite even. Both sides of the coin are seeing suicides that can be attributed at least in part to the financial crisis the world is facing and i think they are reporting quite evenly.
