There has been 2 incidents in the past week here in the UK where 2 'strangers' have met up (looks like through the net) to commit suicide together, although I believe some people are too far gone to be talked out of it I fear those that can be reasoned with (maybe their depression is temporary through loss of job or relationship breakup etc) will be talked/persuaded into it by their suicide 'partner' or online suicide 'pals'. This is relatively new in the UK but has anyone else on Freeones heard of any double/multiple suicides by 'strangers' in their town/country

Inside the chilling world of suicide forums
DOZENS of evil internet forums which help vulnerable people commit suicide are exposed today.
They offer TIPS on methods while sickos get KICKS out of urging the lonely and desperate to end their own lives.
Today, in the wake of the double suicide of strangers Jo Lee and Steve Lumb, The People gives a chilling insight into the website menace.
On one, a message from a despairing user bore grim similarities to the case of Jo and Steve, who had never met before gassing themselves in a car.
The user, 28-year-old Richard, wrote: Email if you want to form a pact. I am ready to go.
The message. in which Richard added he was not a student or a fake, was posted on Alternative Suicide Methods the SAME site on which Jo and Steve met.
It was still operating last night despite a barrage of calls to have it closed down.
Another user, a Londoner called Michael, said he had decided to die with no fear or hesitation, just relief asking: Is there anyone who would like to join me?
He got an answer from a potential partner called tjh001 saying: Not comfortable with hanging, more into helium, but its a bugger working out the details.

Warnings
The People infiltrated a series of similar internet forums and found hundreds of requests for advice, pleas for partners and suicide notes.
Incredibly none of the websites carry warnings and all can by accessed by anyone with a few clicks of a mouse.
On one forum called The Suicide Project, a user in Scotland posted: Am looking for a person to go out with. Have own car.
After a People investigator sent a reply, the user recommended a way of suicide that needed only an enclosed space and mixture of two chemicals that can be bought at any garden store and supermarket.
Shockingly the chemical recipe for hydrogen sulphide, known as H2S, was the method Jo and Steve used to gas themselves in Braintree, Essex, last weekend.
Steve, 35, drove 200 miles from his home in Sowerby Bridge, West Yorks, to meet Jo, 34, and carry out a death pact in his Vauxhall Astra.
References to the H2S process, which originated in Japan, are all over the internet.
One user gave our investigators a step-by-step guide on how to create the deadly gas using products readily bought from any supermarket.
Another user called Suspension Hanging said: The recent H2S success stories piqued my interest, so Im researching the method.
The H2S suicide technique is heavily plugged by a Japanese internet weirdo branded Doctor Death, who contacted Jo Lee within minutes of her first posting online.
Doctor Death has posted messages in many forums greeting people with the words Yo buddy, still alive? and explaining in detail how to make the gas. On one post he put a link to a half-Japanese, half-English pamphlet called How To Hydrogen Sulfide Suicide (Detergent Suicide) which even features four pictures of people who have gassed themselves in cars.
Police warned after the deaths of Jo and Steve that anyone who helped in suicides would be arrested and could face 14 years in prison.
Steve's grief-stricken father Melvin spoke of his disbelief that suicide forums even existed and warned people not to go on them.
Trigger
Braintrees Conservative MP Brooks Newmark also called for the websites to be closed down.
He said giving suicide advice to vulnerable people, especially hormonal teenagers, was the same as handing them a gun and saying, Pull the trigger.
The Samaritans are already working with Facebook to try to reduce the risks to website users.
Official figures show UK suicides rose by 329 between 2007 and 2008 to 5,706.
