O restante dos óbitos distribui-se entre outras causas, incluindo os afogamentos, que, em muitas ocasiões, podem ocultar casos de suicídio 5 . Segundo a OMS, o Brasil apresentou, em 2012, a 11ª maior taxa de homicídios do mundo (32,4/100 mil habitantes), superior a países como Bahamas (32,1), Haiti (26,6) e México (22,0) 6 .…”
