13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 An analysis of the autopsy register in the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa (previously called Transkei) for the period 1993–2003 showed an increasing trend of hangings from 5.2 per 100 000 in 1993 to 16.2 per 100 000 in 2003, particularly in the younger (20–29 year) age group. 13 This is consistent with other studies on choice of method in South Africa. 6 Homicide-suicide and extended suicide, especially involving adult men, intimate partners, and/or family members, have increased notably in South Africa, attracting much publicity, mainly because of their associated physical trauma and psychosocial impact.
