Goodness gracious sounds like Christine Chubbuck all over again.

For those that don't know Christine Chubbuck was a 27 year old woman who in 1974 shot herself in the head on live television. She was suffering from depression and when she found out that the man she had a crush on was seeing someone else she committed suicide.

Sad to hear about that reporter.

This sort of thing probably happens more than you think; I wouldn't think news anchors are generally less suicidal than anyone else (if anything, getting more exposure to the crappy events of the world is something that I think would take an emotional toll on some people, that might leave them more prone to acts such as this)

Christine only became particularly notable because she offed herself on live TV. Something like that was unprecedented.
