<p>Since this Roanoke incident is all over the news, I certainly would like to know what happened. There seems to be a piece missing from the story. I have heard that suicides are rountinely not covered on the news, as a universal policy. Is that true?</p><p>Suicide by train is a standard method, just like jumping into a river or shooting oneself. Near where I live, a guy left work one day, walked down the tracks, and stepped in front of an approaching coal train. I heard about it from those who knew the guy and circumstances. The consensus was that it was suicide. There was not a word about it on any local news.</p><p>Is that what happened in Roanoke? Is that why the explanation of how the victim got hit is missing?</p>
