“…For example, this research expects to see strong relationships between White males and firearm‐related suicides; and conversely, a strong relationship between White females and prescription medication overdose, as is consistent with contemporary research . The Asian literature reveals high rates of drowning and strangulation among Asian populations. This research expects the similar trends among the Asian subpopulation.…”

Forensic suicidology is a growing discipline as the world struggles to reduce escalating suicide rates. Most research focuses on trends and risks, but no study examines the relationship between cultural identity and suicide modality as a means of understanding hyper‐local risk factors. This study cross‐referenced race and suicide method for 720 coroner decedents. More than half (58%) of Asian suicides are asphyxial, while 20% are firearm‐related. Comparatively, 26% of White suicides are asphyxial; 35% are firearm‐related. Males outnumber females at greater than 2:1 in every racial category except Asian. While the study demographic is unique, many trends confirm conventional suicide wisdom. The finding of male predominance in the White and Hispanic groups confirms long‐standing clinical knowledge regarding sex‐related risk for suicide. Understanding patterns unique to a locality can leverage policy and practices that reduce access to suicide means, aiding preventative efforts, and benefitting the growing field of death investigation.

Background: Violent asphyxial deaths are often dealt with during autopsy, and its magnitude is mentionable nowadays. Objective: To determine the frequency of cases of violent asphyxial death along with the determination of the socio-demographic variety of the victims. Study Design: It is a cross-sectional type of descriptive study. Place of Study: Department of Forensic Medicine of Sir Salimullah Medical College, Mitford, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Duration: The study was conducted from January 01, 2017, to December 31, 2019. Materials and Methods: A proforma was prepared where various data were tabulated, compiled and analyzed. Results: 1060 cases of violent asphyxial death were encountered out of 9410 medico-legal autopsies. Male (68.67%) predominance was evident. The age group of 20-29 years (44.15%) was principally affected. Maximum victims were from urban areas (61.03%). Victims were mainly married (56.6%) and unemployed (26.6%). The Muslim (81.32%) victims were mostly seen and lower class people (58.2%) were the prime victims. Hanging (65.84%) and drowning (27.64%) were chiefly encountered.
