Method for suicide identification

A method for contacting a predetermined entity based on a classification of a death event comprising the steps of:

• a) assigning a value comprised within a first predetermined numeric range to a first partial score based on a method which caused the death of a subject;
• b) assigning a value comprised within a second predetermined numeric range to a second partial score based on the subject's personal history of mental illness;
• c) assigning a value comprised within a third predetermined numeric range to a third partial score based on a consistency of the death scene evidence with suicidal dynamics;
• d) assigning a value comprised within a fourth predetermined numeric range to a fourth partial score based on the number of means that caused the death of the subject;
• e) assigning a value comprised within a fifth predetermined numeric range to a fifth partial score based on a compatibility of means and injuries with suicidal dynamics;
• f) summing the values of the partial scores of steps a)-e) to obtain a total score;
• g) adding to the total score a correction factor if at least one positive indicator of suicide is present;
• h) classifying the death event as follows:
• if the total score is less than or equal to a first threshold the death is classified as suicide;
• if the total score is greater than the first threshold and it is less than or equal to a second threshold the death is classified as atypical suicide;
• if the score is greater than the second threshold, than the death is classified as incompatible with suicide;
• i) if the death event is classified as incompatible with suicide contacting the predetermined entity by sending a signal via a telecommunication system to the predetermined entity.
