ted,
That article was about Maui, which has a much lower rate than Hawaii Island.
If you want a statistical breakdown, the only detail that's important is why a person would feel so depressed they take their own life. But we can't really know as sometimes it's just a person's genetic disposition, and not everyone leaves a note.
Thanks for posting opihikao, it's an important issue. Certainly not a category in which we want our island to lead the state.
I'm sorry for your loss, and know it was a difficult time for you and your family. And probably always will be.
