Regarding "Five dead in family dispute after hours-long standoff at Phoenix home", the gunshot wounds were not caused by the standoff. The WaPo article is at http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/04/17/five-dead-in-family-dispute-after-hours-long-standoff-at-phoenix-home/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/04/17... and the source article from ABC is at http://www.abc15.com/news/region-phoenix-metro/north-phoenix/swat-team-working-situation-in-north-phoenix http://www.abc15.com/news/region-phoenix-metro/north-phoenix... . > The suspect shot two of his brothers and then his mother came down from upstairs and he shot her. Afterwards the suspect went upstairs to find others in the home. He reportedly shot and killed a female relative. ... "Our dispatcher could hear shots fired in the background while that call was coming in," Crump said. "A caller had been able to escape the home at that point, get out and start to give us information." Most, if not all, of the gunshot wounds occurred before the standoff even started. I do not understand how you drew the conclusion that the deaths were due to gunshot wounds caused by the standoff. There's no basis for that in the two articles I referenced. Your statement about "solely as a temporal relation" is not relevant. Even if true about rarity, the article quotes the mother as saying "A combination of everything was likely the cause". The article deliberately draws a connection between the online abuse and the suicide, as well as between her illness and the suicide. The headline picked the aspect that's most likely to draw attention, which is what headlines are for. Thus there is no contradiction, only the incomplete information that one must expect from a headline. (It's a poor headline which says "Someone died.")
