Three series of suicides were examined for evidence of clustering: suicides on the Hong Kong subway (1979-1989), suicides from the Golden Gate Bridge (1999-2009), and suicides in the Wayne County Jail (1967-1992). The inter-suicide intervals were examined for their fit to a random Poisson distribution and found not to differ significantly, indicating that there was no evidence for clustering
