I'd like to point out that such things can be an invasion of privacy. While person A might claim that person B threatened to commit suicide, it is possible that person A wants to locate person B for other, not so good reasons. This will happen if all one has to say is "suicide" and everyone will ignore their normal privacy policies. > > > Thanks to everyone who responded.
