Folks gotta think before they post stuff like this, no harm intended but for someone to find out on the Internet is bleak.

It was outrageous how many many people could not wait to post the name of one semi famous person out of three who died in an accident last week on this site. 21st century clothes line.

How fast can the police move? I’m sure all processes had to be followed before informing the mother of this tragedy!
If there had been a mistake then these irresponsible comments on FB could cause a lot of damage.
Just because we live in a faster paced world doesn’t mean short cuts should be taken.

police did nothing wrong here.

she was found at 8.15, by who. ? friend, neighbour.??

police had to be called. squad car arrives at 8.45 maybe. they need to call in detectives to make sure there was no foul play. that’s another hour and a half at least. it’s 11 pm before they can even think of contacting next of kin.

probably her neighbour/friend who posted without thinking it through but in my opinion, police did not waste any time.

ya cant blame police full stop they need a few hours to find out information blame the stupid ejit who posted it on facebook straight away but thats the World we live One

Facebook, embedded into people’s lives beyond belief

It is disgracefull that she found out about her daughter’s death on facebook and people are entitled to their privacy, and she should not have found out on a social network site, people can be so insensitive and in this situation it is awfull.

I often found that when someone has died locally there are the certain few who can’t wait to get their ‘condolences’ up on Facebook along with some poem they copy and pasted outta somewhere. Kinda looked more like they were saying I knew before all you rather than actually sympathising. So it doesn’t surprise me that the family heard on Facebook rather than from the police.

Wonder how they are gonna stop someone posting a message on facebook..

Either someone was with her when she died and decided to inform fb about it before allowing the police to do their job or someone involved in the ambulance/police service leaked it…how else could people know?

But there’s something the article doesn’t tell us; did the police know that the poor girl was dead when the Facebook message was posted? The answer affects how we judge the police’s behaviour.

I don’t know about anyone else but if I heard such a comment and called my daughter’s house and the police answered, I would be around there in a flash. I would not wait until they contacted me. I don’t know the mother’s circumstances..maybe she lived very far away, or for some other reason she couldn’t go.

Unbelievable……it’s her mom who was supposed to be told first & now clock can’t be put back!

GUBU

Yes, this happened to me too. When my father died in hospital (2006) I was not contacted. He died at 2.30am and I only found out when I rang hospital at 10.30 next morning! Sadly, though it was the wish of family member that I would not be contacted.

I think the point is more that the police should have been doing their job! Police should be ashamed of the way this was handled

The police aren’t too slow when it comes to covering their own arse’s. they should have gone to see the girls mother as soon as they’d been contacted by her on her daughters phone.

unlike

The daughter died in her house and when her mother rang her (daughter’s) phone the police answered so they must have been in the house and known that the daughter was dead. The problem was that the daughter was found round 8.15pm but the police didn’t inform the mother till around 12 midnight. It’s all in the article.

Investigation about what?? It’s the police fault that they did not inform the family inmediately! People on facebook were just paying their respects!! That is what happens in facebook, news fly! It has always been like that and will always be. Police should do their job properly and then stuff like that would not happen!
