Agreed. But one attempted suicide and one successful suicide in a sample of 320 is not insignificant. This could be an anomaly, sure, but given that the average rate of suicide is 12.93 per 100,000 people [1], and it on average takes 25 attempts to produce a single death, this study should've expected no attempts at all. The fact that there was not only an attempt, but another successful attempt is not insignificant. The researchers were not mistaken when they decided to cut the study short, lest they be responsible for more deaths. 1. https://afsp.org/about-suicide/suicide-statistics/ https://afsp.org/about-suicide/suicide-statistics/
