This (local) article covers it a bit better than the Washington Post:<p><a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/singapore/story/boss-virtual-currency-exchange-first-meta-found-dead-cantonment-close-" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.straitstimes.com&#x2F;breaking-news&#x2F;singapore&#x2F;story&#x2F;bo...</a><p>First Meta isn&#x27;t actually a Bitcoin exchange, but they accept Bitcoin as a payment method.

Depression is mentioned. As I&#x27;m sure everyone else here will say: <i>There is no shame in getting help for that.</i>

Can we clarify the exchange on this please, to avoid the linkbait, esp given the just posted newsweek article.

Rick Falkvinge mentioned this earlier as one of ostensibly two Mt.Gox-linked suicides so far:<p><a href="http://falkvinge.net/2014/02/28/the-gox-crater-crowd-detectives-reveal-billion-dollar-heist-as-inside-job/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;falkvinge.net&#x2F;2014&#x2F;02&#x2F;28&#x2F;the-gox-crater-crowd-detecti...</a>

I&#x27;m tired of seeing these articles. Yes, suicide is a sad story. No, the company wasn&#x27;t a Bitcoin exchange. Would it make headlines over and over if the story read &quot;CEO of a company that accepts Bitcoins as a payment method found dead&quot;?

I knew Autumn years ago. She was a brilliant individual with a deep connection to those around her. This is a loss of a tremendously capable, and compassionate, human being.

No reference to what exchange she worked for. Oh journalism...
