  • Some people in prison commit suicide because they cannot handle the cruelty; possible rape; beatings by other prisoners or, some commit suicide because they cannot mentally handle being caged up or feel they have no chance of being released from prison.

What group of people have highest suicide rate in the US?

If you mean in terms of occupations, probably members of the armed forces, police officers, and perhaps truck drivers. Truck driving is a field where a number of military vets get involved because war made them more isolated from others. Driving a truck is mostly a solitary job, and it allows someone to feel in control while they are on the road. Of course, living situations and disabilities are also a factor. Those estranged from their families are more likely to consider suicide than those in loving relationships. LGBT persons are more likely to commit suicide than heterosexuals. Divorced people are more likely to commit suicide than single people and happily married couples. Those who become disabled later in life may be more likely to commit suicide than either those disabled very early in life (excluding certain mental conditions) and those who suffer no disabilities. IQ can be a factor to a point. Those who are right below the normal range are probably more likely to commit suicide than those in the normal range and those who are profoundly mentally challenged. Things are perhaps the hardest on those who have cognitive disabilities and are fully aware they have them.


Can you commit suicide by eating a bottle of tums?

Over-consumption of calcium carbonate can result in the serious and sometimes fatal condition known as hypercalcemia. This condition can cause vomiting, abdominal pain, and an alteration of mental status. The effects of excessive calcium are cumulative, and while possible to commit suicide with this substance, it would be increasingly painful and would take a very long time, possibly decades of chronic abuse.


Do emos want to commit suicide?

Generally speaking, the answer is No. Emo's, if there is a standard, may focus on dramatic aspects of life and situations, and relish the emotions these evoke. But while their outlook may appear somewhat grimmer than usual to observers, this is not an indicator of actual depression. I'm not aware of any increase in suicide trending in that rather loosely defined group.


What are suicide precautions?

It is a list of things people do to help prevent others in their care from suicide. Such things would include searching for weapons, watching them intensely (even while using the toilet), counting silverware to make sure there are no missing forks/knives, not letting those on suicide watch have belts, sheets, or shoelaces, etc.

What if you post Bail and the person commits suicide?

It's not possible, because the police will request medical intervention on anyone who attempts to commit suicide whether he or she is on bail or is in prison. People on bail are carefully monitored by a GPS device attached to them. If someone dies of sickness, accident, or homicide while on bail, then it's pretty much the end of the case. The police force have been around for a long time. They are not dumb, and they know all the tricks.
