Suicide and Widowhood

I recently looked up the relationship between widowhood and suicide. There have been a few cases of passive suicide during my ministry, and I have wondered sometimes whether there were active ones. There is certainly a correlation between widowhood and suicide. One of the most striking statistics: the suicide rate among men, between ages 20 and 35, increases seventeen times on the loss of a spouse. OBSERVATION: AI tells me that, due to forensic investigation, suicide will be separated from a natural death on the death of a spouse. However, it tells me at the same time that less than 10% of deaths worldwide are investigated forensically.
