ABSTRACT
Background & Objectives: Suicide is the most difficult to understand phenomenan. We may think, to take one’s own life, there has to be a “great” reason. But it has been observed that person often commit suicide for “trivial” causes. Traditionally, it is believed that males are more tolerant to stress than females. But in modern times, gender differences in everything, including rates of suicide and factors responsible for suicide are narrowing. Method: So, this study was undertaken at SSG Hospital, Vadodara, between 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2013, for a period of 1 year. All the Male cases of suicide were taken in to study, a structured questionnaire was asked to the friends and family accompanying the dead body, and the data were then analyzed. Results & Conclusion: The most striking of the results were - 74% cases belonged to middle aged group, 61 % were married/divorced, 87% committed suicide within the home and hanging was preferred by 64%. In contrast to NCRB data, where in only 12% cases, no precipitating factor was known, in our study, in 46 % cases exact precipitating factor could not be known. Which signifies that still more intensive interviews with more close relatives is required.
Key-words: Unnatural death, Suicide, Males, Autopsy.
