N2  - A study was conducted at Bankura Sammilani Medical College, Bankura, West Bengal, on suicide victims whose postmortem examination was performed between 1st January, 2003 and 31st December, 2003. Various epidemiological, aetiological and other related factors were studied. There were 42 males (36.21%) and 74 females (63.79%) among the total victims (n=116). Torture by in-laws for dowry was found to be the commonest predisposing factor for suicide (n=34; 29.31%). Consumption of poison was the commonest method (n=48; 41.38%). Incidence of suicide was at its peak during the month of May (n=18; 15.52%). Endometriums of female subjects of child-bearing age (n=60) were studied under microscope and most of them (n=47) were seen to be in secretory phase at the time of commitment of suicide.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
