Graphic description of suicide Unnecessary[edit]

Based on the English Wikipedia guideline regarding Offensive Material

Wikipedia articles may contain offensive words and images, but only for a good reason. Do not use disclaimers.

It does not seem that the following portion of the "Suicide" section does not meet this standard.

One of the cameras remained focused on Dwyer and captured close-up footage of the aftermath of the shooting; as his body slumped, blood streamed from the exit wound in the back of his head as well as from his nostrils and mouth

I cannot ascertain the purpose of this graphic description, and therefore think its removal should be seriously considered. Forgive me if my proposal is not in line with wider standards on Wikipedia. I am not a frequent contributor so I hope my ignorance can be forgiven in this instance. Wagenenr (talk) 00:12, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
