The Argus should NOT encourage comments where someone has lost their life - it's insensitive and cheap!

Not only is this insenitive, cheap and nasty journalism it's also very lazy as the Argus doesn't know who is involved and is hoping someone will come up with the victim's name - shame on you Argus - employ some proper journalists.
