Patrick Kielty: strange reporting

[Wasntmeanttobelikethis]

Is it just me, or does the reporting of Patrick Kielty’s marriage split seem a bit odd?
The Daily Fail keeps stating about how his parents knew when it ( the marriage) was ending
Just seems a very strange angle of the story on which to focus
i know that media sometimes use the tactic of reporting something to thinly veil, or hint at, a more sensitive story
The news about his split emerged about the same time as Myleene Klass, her ex and Rochelle Humes? Is the Fail hinting that they are all connected?

I would think it's highly unusual anywhere but in Ireland funerals are public affairs and literally anyone can show up (certainly where I'm from), I'd go to funerals of parents of old school friends if I'm around, my elderly Dad goes to almost every funeral in the parish. Cousins and second cousins and friend of friends often show up, it does seem very pointed that they didn't go.

That said its their business and who knows. I like PK and think he should be left to live his life in peace. I like CD too but am not as familiar with her work.

No, 'dead' describes someone who has died.

Passed away is an unnecessarily delicate and way of saying someone 'died'.

'Murdered' is a specific cause of death. After being murdered the person is 'dead'.

I previously described PK’s dad as passed away/ dead: a poster stated that this was unnecessarily insensitive
Should I have described him as murdered: his cause of death?
I find this reasoning odd, if murdered is cause of death
Example: is x dead or alive?
X is strangled/ drowned/ poisoned ( causes of death)

I mentioned that he was murdered three posts under your initial one - so it had already been said. The circumstances of his murder were fairly horrific - at the hand of loyalist paramilitaries - it was a killing, it was intended to cause harm. For many people, 'passed away' implies a peaceful end. It was anything but.
