A study of suicide victims aged 65 years or more was done from the case files of the Medical Examiner Department of Dade County during the years 1981-1983. A total of 222 cases were collected and analyzed as to the age, ethnicity, sex, and cause of death of the victim along with blood alcohol content, toxicology, locale of the terminal incident, whether or not there was a suicide note, and the reason for depression. The latter most frequently was the victims’ concern over their health.
