Fall at Son Espases: Accident, Suicide or Unresolved Questions?

Answer

Can a cancer patient’s mental state affect the risk of suicide?

Serious illness can increase psychological strain, and that may raise the risk of suicidal thoughts in some patients. But no one should assume suicide without evidence, because illness alone does not explain what happened. In cases like the one at Son Espases, investigators still need facts from the scene and the medical record.
