A dozen of Jacko fans commit suicide
NEARLY a dozen of Michael Jacksons fans have reportedly committed suicide following the King Of Pops sudden demise.
And Australians fans are said to be seeking help from a suicide prevention hotline.
As many as 50 callers seeking help from suicide prevention hotline Lifeline Australia have told counsellors that Jacksons death on June 26 has left them distressed.
According Sky News, Gary Taylor from London, who owns Jackos online fan club has said that he was aware of about 12 suicides following the performers death.
It is a serious situation that these people are going through but Michael Jackson would never want this, News.com.au quoted Taylor as saying.
He would want them to live, he added.
Lifeline CEO Dawn ONeil said that while there has not been a dramatic increase in calls to counsellors, people have spoken about how Jacksons death has affected them.
We have had some calls related to this, said ONeil.
In some cases, (a celebritys death) can be very distressing, ONeil added.
The calls came as a friend to the famous family, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, urged fans not to self-destruct.
This is a time when hearts are heavy, Jackson said. There is great pain but great cause to celebrate Michaels life. It made Michael happy saying We Are The World. Dont self destruct, he added. Sify
