Suicides data from the National Violent Death Reporting System (2005–2016*).

The sixteen states participating in the NVDRS (of the CDC) are Alaska, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Note the higher suicide incidence rates for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 [3]. The data is available up to 12/2013, but recorded as of 10/2016, due to reporting lags. The last row in Table 3 also shows the percentage of suicides triggered by financial problems affecting the agent. Information similar to Table 2 shows the occurrence of murder-suicides as a joint event and can be found in the supporting information S2 Table.
