Fears more people could die after eight killed by poison in Greater Manchester

1. A coroner has issued a warning over suicide websites after a poison bought online killed eight people in Greater Manchester. 

   Police have traced 45 people in the UK and Europe who have died after taking the unnamed substance and another 40 who had bought it intending to take their own lives in a 12 month period.

   Details of a ‘cluster’ of deaths in Wigan, Bolton and Salford were revealed in eight prevention of future death reports issued by Timothy Brennand, the senior coroner for Manchester West.

2. Mr Brennand did not identify the poison except to say it was a food preservative and a ‘reportable poison as well as a reportable explosives precursor’.

   So pretty easy to figure out then.

3. Maybe the problem is we have created a world where so many people want to die?
