In the light of the Old Media Blackout of a story - "much too sensitive to let the people know" it is worthwhile linking to the best practice guidelines:

Not all suicides are newsworthy. But when they are, it is less likely that others will attempt to take their own lives if media professionals handle the stories responsibly.

I presume the same goes for attempted suicides as well.
