Marie Osmond Son Suicides on the Rise

Hollywood celebrities and their children are, either commiting suicide or over-dosing on drugs, this year and 2009 more often than in past years. This is sad, but I noticed that in San Diego the suicide rate has gone up also amongst regular people since 2007, dramatically.

People often throw themselves from the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge.
I wonder, could it be that the financial situation in the country is putting a lot of stress and anxiety on many? Possibly. But it is a trend that it's a fact and a reality.

My deep condolences to all relatives and friends who are left behind. Suicide is a very tragic event in anybody's life.

Peace to all.

“People are feeling insecure and vulnerable,” said Jim Dubois, a team leader with San Diego County's Access and Crisis Line, which has seen a rise in calls from people distressed about their finances.

The county Medical Examiner's Office has attributed at least seven suicides in recent months to money troubles. Medical Examiner Glenn Wagner said such deaths may foreshadow a terrible trend if the gloomy economy continues to push people to the brink.

“As more and more people get laid off and face tough times, they look at this as a solution,” Wagner said. “They can't see beyond the immediate loss of what were once secure lives and to the future where they can recover that security in their lives.”

Because Wagner fears the sinking economy will become a greater factor in suicides, he has asked his office to track and record any connection.

“I'm looking for any trends that we can interpret and translate into prevention,” he said. “Once people are dead, there is little I can do for them, but what I can do is look at the numbers to see how they can be translated into a community response.”
