I think people are trying to look for a black and white thing to blame in a situation that is lots of shades of grey.

She obviously had massive mental health issues; you don't kill yourself if you don't and you don't assault someone if you don't. That's not to say her assault shold be excused at all.

She was also a pretty famous person and was the sort of person tabloid newspapers always covered. Should they have not covered her assault charge? It definitely classes as news and they have every right to print it. Should they have hounded someone who was clearly mentally unstable as much as they did and then delete the stories after she killed herself?

It's a tragic situation where a young person has lost their life and who's family have now had their lives more or less ruined because of it.
