Police said the childless couple had held a burial ceremony for their dog of 13 years, called Puppy, and hosted a feast for friends before hanging themselves in their bedroom.

I remember sitting up way past my bedtime listening to it very low, (mom and dad didn’t like the show). The hardest part was controlling the laughter. If my sister was listening with me, we would always get caught. Together we couldn’t keep the giggles contained.
Geesm I am surprised this does not happen in America.
A lot of suicides probably pass as “accidental” deaths, to prevent stigmatisation of relatives and / or for insurance benefits.
