This is why it's illegal to report deaths as suicides in New Zealand media as well.

That link says something different: "a description of the death as a suicide before the coroner has released their findings and stated the death was a suicide"

Sorry about that! I should learn to read a bit more. It's very rare you ever see any reporting done on suicides. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/80143183/new-zealand-suicid...

I guess to be safe they sort of publish it without many details. Just "Person found dead at such and such".
