Suicide represents the dramatic end of human life mostly in young age. In a 5-year retrospective study in Jeddah in the western Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 200 successful suicidal attempts demonstrated that hanging was the most common method of suicide with 72% of the cases, and males represented 77% of the total loses. Most fatalities were of the age range from 20s to 40s. Saudi cases constituted 18.5% of the death cases representing the second most common nationality of successful suicidal attempt in Jeddah after Indians who represented 23% of the entire study. Saudi fatalities were induced by hanging in 56% of the all Saudi deaths in contrast to about 83% in the Indian fatalities.
