Talk:Proxy murder

comment

• Whose definition here is being used? There are no citations. Also, how would a case like John Bodkin Adams fit in? He was tried for murdering Edith Alice Morrell in Britain in 1957, and the crux of the case was whether he had ordered nurses caring for the patient to give dangerously high doses of opiates to the patient. He was acquitted but according to police archives seems to have been guilty - would this not be 'proxy' murder of a different kind? Getting an unwitting nurse to do the dirty deed while his hands would remain relatively clean? Any thoughts?Malick78 16:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Considering the article is currently classified as a stub, and therefore could certainly use more information, I'd suggest you Be Bold and add it. I would myself, but I'm completely unfamiliar with the case. ;) 70.125.132.204 (talk) 03:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Suicide by proxy

Should suicide by proxy—the use of another party to kill oneself—be mentioned in this article? Maybe even assisted suicide or Suicide by cop? — Tha†emoover†here (talk) 20:50, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

A list of examples in media: [1] & another media example. At least one example in real life: Jeffrey Locker. — Tha†emoover†here (talk) 01:04, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Someone brought to my attention that perhaps even martyrs might be considered victims of suicide by proxy. — Tha†emoover†here (talk) 01:12, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

First line says nothing.

I came here to understand what the term meant. The intro told me nothing, while the examples gave me an idea. The Simple English wp fortunately explained it for me. :) Maybe somebody who actually knows, can update this article too. Fomalhaut76 (talk) 08:10, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
