Suicide news

I'm listening some news radio station via the Internet.  This is local news in a third world country.  They say that this day there were three suicides in the city, and they proceed to explain the names, ages, street address, method of suicide, possible reasons, and other special circumstances.  One was said to have left a suicide note with instructions for his cremation.

I thought this is too much information.  I'm surprised.  Is it that they don't have anything else to report?
