Suicide is the intentional taking of one’s own life. Worldwide about one million people die by suicide each year. Suicide death investigations are complicated and time consuming. Suicide deaths make up about ten percent of a death investigators overall case load. Suicide investigations require an initial report, scene investigation, evidence collection, witness interviews, forensic examination, toxicology testing, and a death investigation report. Careful consideration must be taken before a death can be classified as a suicide. Victim intent should be established before a suicide classification can be made. Information obtained during a death investigation is critical and is utilized to establish the suicide victims’ intent. Every death and crime scene investigator should understand how to appropriately conduct a suicide death investigation.
