Suicides cross all social, economic and cultural boundaries.
A significant percentage of people who commit suicide appeared to be functioning well prior to their death. It can happen to anyone. Every year about 3,500 Canadians take their own lives, producing a suicide rate that is among the highest in the world. Suicide is second only to accidents as a cause of death for people under age 35. Women have a lower rate of death by suicide, but current trends show their attempts are becoming more lethal.
