The feeding frenzy the corporate media indulges itself in, whenever an event like this occurs is regrettable.
It's a prisoners dilemma, since any corporate media outlet that does not ramp up to "National Enquirer" level hysteria, will be overshadowed by those who do. To solve such a prisoners dilemma would seem to require regulation, so that those who want to be good actors are not punished by losing viewership to bad actors.
Japan's (lack of) coverage of suicides to prevent copycat behavior can serve as a model.
