"Hanging/Suffocation Suicides: According to CDC WONDER data, hanging and suffocation accounted for approximately 25–26% of all suicide deaths in recent years.
Public Place Suicides: NVDRS data indicates that about 22–25% of all suicides occur in public places.
Estimation: By applying the public place percentage to the hanging/suffocation suicides, we estimate that approximately 10–15% of hanging/suffocation suicides occur in public places."
