One insurance investigator I worked with (who had been in the business for thirty years and thus was in a position to know what he was talking about) once told me that in his opinion if suicide was not regularly covered up and hidden, the suicide rate in America would appear to double or triple overnight. In the case of a family member of mine who committed suicide, the police actually *offered* his wife the ability to "keep it out of the papers" and disguise it as an accidental death. In other words, don't imagine some big TMO conspiracy here. This stuff happens every day.
