N2  - This study was aimed to assess the venues of suicide and the related factors. One hundred and forty four (M-89. F-55) suicide cases undertaken for autopsy at the department of Forensic Medicine, Madras Medical College formed the study material. 33.71% of males and 3.64% of females had chosen the venues other than their houses. Most of the males suffering from mental illness (80%) had preferred places outside their house for this fatal act. Among the males, 71.74% of those who consumed insecticides and 87.5% who adopted self immolation, did so inside their houses. Comparatively lesser (53.33%) proportion of males resorted to hanging inside their houses.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
