Suicides up (updated)

Chief Coroner Judge Deborah Marshall releases latest figures:

 Quite a big increase.

For Maori, 22 deaths by suicides per 100,000 of us, 8 more than Pakeha.

Not sure if this is a disproportionate increase for Maori (I'm betting it is...). Links to the raw data from the Coronor's website, here.

Updated: Maori stats here. Very grim reading...
