A cadet commits suicide onboard the ship in Q1. Initial investigations reveal that he was constantly bullied by other crew members. A trial in Q3 confirms the bullying being a direct cause of the suicide. This confirmation results in the suicide counting as a fatality due to sickness and it should be reported in Q3.
