They weren’t that happy about some of the reporting on Zayn Malik, either.
Mind, Time to Change, and Rethink Mental Health have described some newspaper headlines about the disaster as "simplistic", saying that they risk "adding to the stigma surrounding mental health problems".
The charities said in a statement: "The terrible loss of life in the Germanwings plane crash is tragic, and we send our deepest sympathies to the families. Whilst the full facts are still emerging, there has been widespread media reporting speculating about the link with the pilot's history of depression, which has been overly simplistic."
For example, the anti-stigma campaign Time to Change suggests that media should not "speculate about someone's mental health being a factor in the story unless you know this to be 100% true".
