Renewed speculation prompted the union that represents the Star’s employees to call for an independent investigation into her death. A Canadian newspaper is under pressure to hold an independent investigation into the circumstances behind the death of one of its reporters. Toronto Star environmental correspondent Raveena Aulakh was reported to have taken her own life on 28 May. But rumours about the reasons for Aulakh having committed suicide swept the paper, and were then reported by other newspapers. She left a note, discovered by her newsroom colleagues, in which she asked the paper not to publish an obituary or turn her death into a story.
