INSURANCE ISSUE

Male suicide in Britain is being under-reported due to fears that widows could lose out on life insurance payments.

This is the concern of male suicide charity CALM – Campaign Against Living Miserably – which is compiling a report for a group of mental illness and counselling charities. It notes the sharp rise in male suicide, particularly among middle-aged men, and is calling for a re-think on how suicide is categorised at inquests.
