Episode 349 – Suicides in the Sherlock Holmes Stories

“I only breathe it among ourselves—a suicide” [GOLD]



LISTENER ADVISORY: This episode contains mentions of suicide, which some listeners may find disturbing.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and as part of our series on monthly observances, we take a look at suicides in the Canon.

Sherlock Holmes was never called in to investigate a suicide, but he encountered a few, along with a number of instances when suicide was attempted, assumed, and ruled out. 

Suicide is never a trifle, and if you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please dial 988.
