Has anyone followed this thing about some person trolling the McCanns

brusma [Edit] [Delete] 09:42, 6 October '14

who after being doorstepped by a Sky News journalist called Martin Brunt, confronted about all this, promptly disappeared and was found having killed herself?

here's a couple of links:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/brenda-leyland-dead-woman-accused-of-trolling-mccann-parents-found-dead-9775946.html

the whole thing seems to be a mess. no-one should be made to feel bad enough about anything to commit suicide. trolling is bad, but given this, and that quite a few studies now link internet trolling and psychopathy, what do you do about anything?
