Summary of complaint
We've received complaints from people who felt that reporting on a coroner's court hearing for the passing of Matt Beard was insensitive/included inappropriate detail.
Our response
It was not appropriate to include specific details of Matt Beard’s tragic death in a recent headline and push notification reporting on the coroner’s court hearing.
We sincerely apologise for the distress this may have caused and will ensure that all future coverage of sensitive issues strictly follows best practice and established guidelines.
