A suicide awareness group is to complain to the Press Complaints Commission after a Sunday newspaper published a picture of a man who apparently took his own life.
A picture was published in the Northern Edition of the Sunday Worldof a man hanging from a bridge in Co Down. Police said there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding it.
Malachy Toman, representing Pips (Public Initiative for Prevention of Suicide and Self-Harm), lost his own son to suicide.
“This young man has a family and friends and I would say they will be feeling a hundred times worse than me when they see this photograph,” he told the BBC.
However, the Northern editor of the Sunday World, Jim McDowell, defended the decision to publish, claiming that the body had been left on public view for three hours.
Mr McDowell also said the picture did not identify the dead man.
