I'm thinking that "Lubob No Longer" might be catchier than "Lubob No More."

Good Shabbos.

jay, it does look there has been another suicide. You have to read between the lines but here are a couple of articles, sparse on details, from Shmais.

First tragedy: Yisroel Noach Tzfasman
Second tragedy: Gershon Gorodetsky

Descret attempts to deal with the situation:
Motzai Shabbos Community Meeting
and
Merkos Family Helpline

Unfortunately, the best way to deal with these situations is not to down play them but to honestly recognize the issue and address it publicly. I hope these efforts are successful in spite of that.

I'm not so sure the second was a suicide. I have a Shmira friend who swears to me that there is a surveillance video of the guy dodging the train but tripping on the electrified rail and getting flung back in front of the oncoming train. G-d knows what he was doing walking on the tracks though...

Although elsewhere on the web there are those that have called this guy the textbook suicide case waiting to happen.
