Since October 2002, the U.S. State Department has kept track of American citizens who die in other countries from non-health-related causes. The State Department notes that their database is unavoidably incomplete, particularly because most U.S. citizens who die abroad are resident in another country and their families might not report the deaths to a U.S. embassy or consulate.

 

In 2010, there were 13 foreign countries in which three or more U.S. citizens committed suicide.

 

Mexico-17

South Korea-12

Thailand-11

Taiwan-9

Costa Rica-8

Germany-5

Australia-4

Dominican Republic-4

Italy-4

Japan-4

Canada-3

India-3

Netherlands-3
