This study analyses the participation on Twitter (X) during the 15 days following the deaths of Veronica Forque (suicide) and Alex Casademunt (traffic accident). The primary objective of the study is to compare the reactions generated on Twitter (X) to the suicide versus the traffic accident of a famous person. To achieve this, the Application Programming Interface Tweet Downloader was used to download batches of tweets (posts) corresponding to each period. Pearson's chi-square test was utilised to identify differences in the messages. Additionally, a content analysis was conducted on a sample of the retrieved tweets (n=621), in which various variables were measured. The results indicate that despite both victims being similarly well-known to the public, Twitter (X) activity was higher in the case of Veronica Forque than in the case of Alex Casademunt. Furthermore, the topic of suicide prompted discussions about guilt (internal and external), preventive measures, and their perceived usefulness compared to the traffic accident, which elicited more expressions of emotions and mentions of the cause of death
