Notes

In the USA suicide by firearm is the most lethal method of suicide resulting in 90% of suicide fatalities.

Jumping from a dangerous location, such as from a high window, balcony, roof, cliff, or bridge is an often used suicide method in some countries.

In Hong Kong, jumping is the most common method of suicide, accounting for 52.1% of all reported suicide cases in 2006 and similar rates for the years prior to that./The Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention of the University of Hong Kong believes that it may be due to the abundance of easily accessible high-rise buildings in Hong Kong.

For every suicide by wrist cutting, there are many more nonfatal attempts, so that the number of actual deaths using this method is very low.

Fasting to death has been used by Hindu, Buddhist as a ritual method of suicide in order to die while in a morally perfect state.
This method of death is also associated with the political protest of the hunger strike such as the 1981 Irish Hunger Strike in which ten prisoners died.

Another suicide method is to lie down, or throw oneself, in the path of a fast moving vehicle, either on the road or onto railway tracks.
