Popis:	The pattern of suicide varies from one region to another. It is based on education, socioeconomic status, psychiatric and other medical ailments and many other factors. The present study was on suicide over a five year period in Mangaluru. Deaths due to suicide increased from 78 in 2009 to 110 in 2013 and a male to female ratio being 3.2: 1. The 15–30 years age group constituted 33.1% of the total suicidal deaths. Most suicides took place in rural areas(79%). Hanging was the most common method of suicide employed. Deaths due to suicide are preventable by developing region specific strategies based on sound databases.
