Totally agree with Griff girl ...

There will not be to many people from Caerphilly who are trader's in Pontypool market ... so i hope that all the family were aware of this tragedy before The Argus in its wisdom put this online!

What if there happen's to be more than one trader from the Caerphilly area working at the market? how many families would be worried sick and going through the emotions after reading something like this and being unable to get in contact with that relation!

It's totally irresponsible and insensitive of The Argus to put this online, this is NOT headline news!

I for one would be furious if i found out about a relative's death like this!
