As I understand it, women attempt suicide at higher rates than men, but men select methods with higher rates of death.
That's an interesting observation. I didn't find such info in the source I posted, could you provide some if you have it on hand?
If not, it's alright :)
Detail and sources can be found here
Thanks!
