Do your kids know the little mermaid committed suicide?

I had I discussion with another mother about a new book I had got my son that had the little mermaid in. It says she "chose to ascend" which I thought was a lovely age appropriate way of putting across the original story. She was horrified and said she would never let her son know any of the true non Disney endings to stories. I think that's awful as the Disney endings send bad messages. What are peoples views on this?

TheNightSky - I had that book, too! What WAS the story with the three women dangling by their hair? That really stayed with me! They were hung up on hooks or something? Was it Bluebeard, maybe?

Some dwarf or goblin action seems to ring a bell... Will have to scour my parents' attic at some point. Would love to find that book again.
