Opis

This report presents aggregate findings from 55 psychological autopsies of decedents who were identified as an intentional death(i.e., a suicide) on railroad rights-of-way between October 1, 2007, and September 30, 2010. The goal of this study was to assess whether there are unique characteristics of individuals involved in suicides on railroad rights-of-way compared with individuals who complete suicide by other means.
