    Not everyone is convinced by these theories. Jean-Marie Robine, a gerontologist who helped to validate Jeanne’s age in the 1990s, tells Le Parisien the evidence is flimsy at best. “All of this is incredibly shaky and rests on nothing,” he says, pointing out that Jeanne was able to answer questions only she would have known the answers too, like the name of her math teacher, when he interviewed her. “Her daughter couldn’t have known that.”


    It's a good thing gerontology is so well funded and its researchers didn't need to milk the momentary fame afforded them by a prominent old person or that level of pure horseshit might seem suspicious.

    We really need a review of what constitutes 'public interest' in the press. It should have happened when some wanker ambushed Gareth Thomas' parents with the news their son was HIV+ before he'd had the conversation with them just so they could get some pictures of the shocked faces. Ideally it would have happened years ago but that should have been a rubicon. Now they've unequivocally played a significant role in the death of someone quite famous, it needs to happen.

    She hit her fella. He didn’t want to press charges. For some reason she was still being charged. He said to stop because nobody was really hurt and said she was vulnerable. Now she’s killed herself.

    So who's fault is this? The justice system? Isn't that what a lot of 'battered' people say?

    It's obviously very sad news, but the need to immediately apportion blame is somewhat symptomatic of the culture that is apparently to blame itself.

    The Police prosecute Domestic Abusers because funny enough their victims often say what their abusers tell them to - or would want them to - out of fear.

    And she didn't hit him, she wrapped a lamp around his sleeping head and covered the room in claret.

    You can't stop prosecuting people because they claim they're vulnerable. You'd have serial killers walking free because they felt a bit sad.

    Media and social media reform is what we should be looking at. These things must be extremely difficult to handle when played out in public, no matter what your general mental state is. The Sun is a disgrace (shock) and Twitter needs either policing properly or carpet bombing.

    The worst thing to come out of this beyond the fate of the poor woman herself, is that the mental health junkies have latched onto it big time.

    The problem with mental health awareness has led to absolute zomboids trying to turn everything into a mental health trauma.

    I saw the other day that leaving a text message on read and not replying was 'emotional abuse' fuck off.

    I think a distinction has to be made between some poor cunt getting caught up in a media shitstorm (that weirdo in Bristol the papers thought killed that woman, your average poor thicko on Twitter, etc.) and people who are otherwise happy to court any sort of favourable publicity. Jesse Lingard weighed in on this warning against the 'pressure' or social media and press intrusion; but would it be naive to think that if he wasn't rolling all over various platforms building his brand then he would have very little direct feedback on what a wanker he is? There is an element of living by the sword to consider.

    Mental Health Twitter is the shallowest of all twitters. Or rather, the thing where people go 'It's good to talk ' and then return to slating people they don't like the look of.

    True about Peter Whittingham? Seems to be. Fell down the stairs.

    Joins Samuel, Ehiogu and Atkinson relatively recently. Real shame. We're in worse form than the Villa.

    Peter Whittingham, former Villa and Cardiff, amongst others. Apparently caused by falling down stairs. 35 years old.

    What's the deal with Whittingham then? Seems a remarkable lack of news about it if it's true, even given the current crisis engulfing the world.

    Imagine facing the end of life as we know it from some new contagion only to go and die by falling down the stairs.

    Strange one. Social media getting out of hand again? He's definitely had a fall and is bare minimum in intensive care, but no confirmation of death from official sources yet.
