Research - Coroners court and inquest findings
7. By sex the picture by cause of death is slightly
different, with males (as in previous years) making up around
71 per cent of all verdicts but 96 per cent of verdicts of
death from industrial disease, 76 per cent of verdicts of
suicide and 86 per cent of verdicts of death from drugs. For
females, the second most common verdict after death by accident
or misadventure (52 per cent of all female verdicts) was death
from natural causes (19 per cent).
