Generic Suicide Research

According to lists posted on the internet between 40% - 50% of suicides are done through hanging with the remaining percentage taken up mostly with gun-shot inflicted deaths and wrist slashing, there is also a small number who used either overdose or asphyxiation.




Hanging appears to be one of the most shocking and visually disturbing of all the deaths unlike the other methods that can be done almost instantly and without much difficulty a hanging requires time and effort for it to succeed which shows a grim determination of the individual.

However very few people leave messages or reasons behind to explain their actions and as a result their deaths are relatively mysterious which has caused the law enforcement to assume every suicide without explanation to have been committed by an outside party thus making almost every suicide attempt in some way supernatural since the act of the killing ones self is unnatural in itself.
