A review of medical examiner records yielded data on 19 men and one woman who died playing Russian roulette. The men differed significantly from 95 male suicide victims who died of gunshot wounds to the head on several variables including age, race, ethnicity, religion, citizenship, marital status, living situation, health, and the likelihood of the death being witnessed. The Russian roulette victims were significantly less likely to die in the bedroom, die in the morning, leave a suicide note, and be depressed but were significantly more likely to have alcohol or drugs in their body fluids and to have a previous history of drug and alcohol abuse.
一项对法医记录的审查得出了19名男性和1名女性玩俄罗斯轮盘赌死亡的数据。这些男性在包括年龄、种族、民族、宗教、公民身份、婚姻状况、生活状况、健康状况以及死亡被目击的可能性等几个变量上，与95名死于头部枪伤的男性自杀受害者有显著差异。玩俄罗斯轮盘赌的受害者在卧室死亡、早晨死亡、留下遗书以及抑郁的可能性显著更低，但他们体液中含有酒精或毒品以及有药物和酒精滥用史的可能性显著更高。
