Manner:
Suicide 2001
A suicide is a
death resulting from a self-inflicted injury which was the result of an
explicit or implicit purpose to end one’s life.
In 2001, 83 deaths in Hamilton County were ruled suicides,
accounting for 9 percent of the deaths investigated by this office.
In 49 percent of
such cases the suicidal means was a handgun; a shotgun was used in another
6 percent.
The remaining cases
were divided among a variety of lethal means as described graphically in
the suicide section of this report.
As elsewhere in the
nation, suicide continues to occur predominantly among white males.
In
22 percent of suicides, postmortem toxicology analysis revealed the
presence of alcohol and/or a drug or drugs of abuse, down from 23 percent
last year.
