Spain ’s suicide statistics: do we believe them?

ConclusionsReportedly low suicide rates in Spain could be partly attributable to increased rates of ‘hidden suicide’ (accidental drowning, male accidental poisoning, and possibly ill-defined/unknown cause deaths, but not EUIs). It would be appropriate (and not just in Spain) to increase numbers of verbal and/or forensic autopsies in questionable ‘undetermined’ cases.
