1. Teflon Jeremy

2. I haven’t been following this at all but it seems people think it’s the wrong decision?

   Imagine if he was found liable, the floodgates would be open for every “poverty porn” TV show to get absolutely battered. I bet there were a lot of nervous producers waiting on this.

3. Direct cause, maybe not. A contributing factor, almost certainly.

4. Would a coroner ever site external factors in a suicide as being a “direct cause”?

5. This headline is misleading.

   The coroner ruled it out as a ‘contributing factor’. It could never be considered a ‘direct cause’ – in this case the direct cause was suicide.
