Suicides from the Golden Gate Bridge: Have They Changed over Time?

Abstract

224 suicides from the Golden Gate Bridge in 1999–2009 were younger than other suicides handled by the Marin County Coroner but did not differ by sex or race. Those witnessed did not differ from those not witnessed. Compared to suicides from the bridge in the 1970s, recent suicides were older, more often male, and more often nonwhite.
