abstract="The article discusses the issue of gender in suicide cases, specifically when handled by newsprint media sources. The author looks closely at the media representations of the deaths of Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates. The article notes that the coverage of these events did not necessarily draw a distinction between true and false due to the nature and celebrity of the deaths. The author suggests that truth claims represented in these deaths were linked with a masculine portrayal of suicide. The article also takes racial influence into account when looking at how these deaths were discussed in the media.<p />",
