Question

Hello, A person hears about a well-known case where a certain child took his own life due to insults from the environment, and the person hears about it from social networks. The next day, someone in the synagogue talks to him about it. Is it permissible to say that he heard this, or is it considered Lashon Hara?

Answer

Hello and blessings 

A well-known case can be told, provided there is no intention to denigrate the person involved. Also, no inaccurate details should be added. The story must be fully verified and not based on unproven assumptions.
