Kunta, exactly we DON'T know but I'm damn sure the way the press presented her didn't help?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I definitely agree with you there, but even without the press she had so much going on in her life the last three months. So I find it a bit crass and short sighted when there’s an echo chamber just focusing on ‘the media the media the media’ when there’s so much more to it, like most cases. Take away the media and you still have someone with stressors that will make their mental health at risk, and that’s only what’s known to the public.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know all these details? Ask yourself that
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The fact that I know these details does not change the fact that they all happened to Caroline and are incredibly likely to also have affected her mental health, not just one factor.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree, but the fact you know all these details of her private life tells its own story and suggests the media have a key role to play.

She was having a lot of real life problems and got axed from the one show that put her on the map, so sad because she’s human at the end of the day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
She'd done a lot on TV already before love Island

The media could, and should allow us the ability to know what's happening on a daily basis?

But they simply don't, they let us know what they want us to think according to, and let's not kid ourselfs on here, their billionaire Right wing owners?

Not slagging anyone but if you're taking their word for what's actually happening then you might be a tad blinkered?

I don’t disagree the media has a role to play defo. I think just the first comment I replied to..it just jumped straight to ‘the media caused this then didn’t it’. Well..we don’t know what caused it unless she told you herself, but she had a lot of things going on past the media, and it’s unlikely just one thing contributed to it. It’s just something that doesn’t sit well with me.

Not just on here, everywhere on twitter people are just talking about media/social media in relation to this. Well what about her lack of support/isolation. What about the literal fact she had a serious charge and impending court case. The fact she lost her job. The media is just another stressor, and we don’t even know how much or little it impacted this case. What we do know is regardless of the stress/what caused it (noting that any ‘trigger’ for mental health doesn’t even have to be something significant) - we need to recognise when they’re falling ill and encourage people to reach out and seek help when they’re ill.

Kunta, oh aye social media has its part to play

Its a bonus and a curse, allows us to share stuff and have a laugh but it also let's total idiots spout nonsense without any comeback or repurcussions?

It should be, but won't, be monitored far harder

Didn’t even know who she was before I heard some gossip in the office going on about her after she was arrested.

Anyone who gossips about this type of person is just as to blame as the media.

Why do some people give so much of a sheite about celebrities lives?

Terrible shame, so much going for her and then bang!

Viscous cycle, clearly there's demand for celebrity trash talk.

She was obviously vulnerable and there has to be more responsibility from some media outlets.

I’m gonna sound heartless, and it’s sad for anyone to die at that age.... but what’s the fascination with posting these deaths on a footy forum? I just about get it if it is some legend like Bowie... but not some random celeb
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It gives the flotsam on this site the opportunity to bring out the roses and dove emojis like they really give a toss.

No different to those who "fish for likes" on Facebook except in that case it's usually women as opposed to middle aged men on here.

Yeah, I do agree. It's not relevant to the platform on which we post. I saw earlier that a former England captain is suffering from a debilitating, progressive brain disease, and that, and what may have caused it is probably more relevant to this platform.

Having said that, Caroline Flack is a very, very famous name in modern society, and there's no harm in posting condolences. Better than the usual squabbling, which I am often guilty of contributing to

Social media is the new player in the game, where people can gang up and bully others.

Yes and no - I think it’s much more easily accessible these days, which means it’s harder for those affected to escape.

Think about bullied children... they can’t leave school and forget about it now, with social media etc.

This already has more comments than the football post below. Posters tend to just post what's on their mind. I don't see the problem.
