An Associated Press (AP) article explicitly described the method of suicide in the news report 'Four Japanese found dead in parked car' on 25.12.05.

SANE Australia wrote to AP on 11.01.06, referring them to the Australian Government's guidelines on reporting suicide. The guidelines advise that media reports should avoid describing the method of suicide to reduce the potential for imitation. SANE Australia also urged AP to encourage help-seeking behaviour in its readers by including helpline numbers.
