I have no further questions, just a request for others to only provide facts not rumors and made up crap.

Thank you

I heard that a woman jumped from the bridge yesterday, however i haven't heard anything more. Does anyone have any information?

That's all I heard, that a pregnant lady jumped off the (Reversing Falls, I thought) bridge, and they rescued her from the water, loaded her into an ambulance and took her off to the hospital.

Lets be respectful. If it isn't your business, leave it alone.

ok, i have seen to much of this happening, so i want to say this before it gets out of control.

lets all take a big breath, and say that we are not going to start writing stuff by hear say. Lets all read the paper, watch the news and listen to the radio, and that will tell you everything to date so far.

It is better then having a big uproar, and if that persons family is on here, i think it would be of great respect not to upset them. I think everyone can agree on this one.

I agree 100% let it be please before someone gets hurt over the possibilty of things being said not be correct.

It is just being asked that people wait until they get all the facts right. Not to have people guessing or rumoring about it.

Some of you people are nuts. It's a SAINT JOHN site for LOCAL ISSUES. Why the hell can't we talk about them without someone saying "Mind your own business"?? If that's the case, why have this forum??

As a general note to people wondering the same as the above: There are limits on what we allow, due to the reasons a couple of people mentioned above.

These types of issues were discussed in an earlier thread (http://www.isaintjohn.com/classifieds/showthread.php?p=89613), and "girdy" made some good points that describe the limits:

"Speculative gossip about significant matters is a bad thing. What needs to happen when there are life and death, family sensitive issues going on is:

1. it must be done in a manner respectful to the family involved - i.e. the full family must be informed, because the grief of the family will temporarily supercede your immediate right to know, and
2. the information reported needs to be accurate.

I saw some of the thread, and the problems with it included:

1. comments about age, sex, relationship of who was involved to the point that the family might have been in the position of finding out through un-official channels of a tragic event,
2. the wrong family could have heard something through unofficial channels!,
3. gossip about the circumstances involved, and since the gossip kept changing, some of it was apparently inaccurate,
4. inappropriately timed comments about the circumstances - and some of the comments were about potentially inaccurate pieces of information.

You have a right to know - but at the correct time, and with the accurate details. Neither was happening in the thread."


Those types of things haven't happened in this thread, but the above are good guidelines regarding what can and can't be posted.

Well our prayers are with her family. Obviously the person in question was very troubled to feel they needed to try and end their life in such a way. Lets just hope she gets the medical help, and mental help she needs to recover from such a thing. I mean clearly some people have said some things in the past that could be deemed inappropriate but this all goes back to Saint John being overpopulated with whiners, comlainers, and gossipers.

Sorry to hear that. I am sure you do not like seeing things wrote before all the facts are known.It must be hard enough dealing with the truth of it all than having to deal with the false rumors.
Hope all is well with everyone as they get through this difficult time.

Shawn was a sister of my friend Pam. She was one of the nicest people you would want to know. She just had problems which were on going for years and she always got through it, but I guess she got tired of the fight. I still can't believe she's gone. Her parents has suffered a lot of heartache and they are the ones who could use your prayers. This is their third child who has died.
