News reporter Alex Wood shares his experiences of reporting on deaths

Inside Bristol Live

This week, Bristol Live reporter Alex Wood talks me through the difficult subject of reporting on deaths and inquests.
His first-hand experience really shows the personal and professional dilemmas reporters face when approaching bereaved families.
Grace Earl from the What's On team then takes a look at a problem that might seem small to many, but is actually a big concern for independent businesses - no shows at restaurants.
She talks me through the issue of customers booking tables and failing to show up, and the impact it has on restaurant owners.
Finally, reporter Krishan Davis looks at the bizarre tale of Bristol's van dwellers - the people living in vehicles parked at the side of the road.
He talks about the genuine reasons people have for living in vans and some of the problems it can cause.
