        @BBCBreaking are you comfortable putting a recently deceased mans twitter address alongside the story? That seems incredibly misjudged.

        @BBCBreaking While I like your new habit of including Twitter handles, including that of the recently deceased seems a little macabre.

        @BBCBreaking @AndrewBSimpson I disagree. It allows you to see quickly exactly who they are and a brief insight.
