The world lost two well-known Americans to suicide last week. Television personality Anthony Bourdain and designer Kate Spade died within two days of each other. Their deaths come at a time when more Americans are dying from suicide than ever before. That information comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States. In a new report, CDC officials note that suicide rates have risen in 49 of the 50 states. But suicide is not just an American problem. Each year, about 800,000 people worldwide die as a result of suicide. That number does not include the countless others who attempt to take their lives. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that every 40 seconds, someone in the world ends his or her life. WHO officials say suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15 to 29-year-olds worldwide.
