Summary: "Suicide is the second most common cause of death for children and youth aged 12 to 18, after motor vehicle crashes. Past reviews of child and youth suicide conducted by the Child Death Review Unit have found that the majority of these deaths are preventable. Both the prevalence and the high level of preventability suggested the need for a special report on child and youth suicide."--Coroner's website as viewed Dec. 3, 2008: http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/coroners/child-death-review/index.htm.
