  • My numbers were not contradicted. Look at the table on page. 32. If you don’t count jails, group homes, “unknown”, or cars as public places your total is around 18% taking place in public. I recognize that the rates wouldnt likely be even among modes of suicide. But, you’re asking for data thats incredible difficult to specifically find. My original statement is that public suicides are uncommon but not unheard. The data I provided supports that statement. I will absolutely concede that I haven’t been able to link specific modality to public though. If you find data that disproves the below please provide it.

    Natural area (park, woods, open land)

    1,816 =4.4%

    Street / highway 1,163 =2.8%

    Hotel / motel 946=2.3%

    Parking lot / garage / public transport 718= 1.7%

    Park / playground / sports area 330 = <1%

    Bridge 316 = <1%

    Commercial / retail area 316 = <1%

    Railroad tracks 256 = <1%

    Other location 1,321 =3.2%






  • I take the story personally and thats probably unhealthy… Shocking amount of suicide and denial of that suicide in my personal life. Anyway, I couldn’t get that data together specifically the way you wanted. Closest I could gather was a listing of public suicides over a ten year span 2013-2023.On average around 45,000 people commit suicide a year, about 12,000 of that by hanging. Public is where the numbers got more difficult but there is some info out there, I’ll post it below. Numbers below represent a single year based on averages from the 10 year span. So its not common but also nowhere near close to unheard of. I had an AI try to compile specifically hanging public suicides and it said between 10-15% of hanging suicides happen in public. I can include the prompts I used to get you there if you dont trust me. Sources it used were the CDC, National Center for Health Statistics and the National Violent Death Reporting System.

    Motor vehicle — 2,363.

    Natural area — 1,895.

    Street or highway — 1,209.

    Hotel or motel — 1,032.

    Park/playground/sports/athletic area — 719.

    Parking lot / public garage / public transport — 700.

    Jail or prison — 654.

    Commercial / retail area — 475.

    Bridge — 323.

    Railroad tracks — 285.

    Hospital / medical facility — 178.



  • The first story you linked, false, one of the several outlits that stated blunt force trauma was involved. You’re actively assisting the the spreading of misinformation because you want a specific outcome. The second autopsy information hasn’t been released yet. Its almost like the people want this to be a hate crime because it would be easier to cope with. Do you have any idea how rarely the family or friends see suicide coming? It’s almost never an open and shut case where the family just accepts it. You know why? Because it’s fucking horrifically difficult to rationalize that someone you love so much would just give up and disapear.
