[Dates of birth of persons committing suicide (author's transl)].

Of 5469 persons who committed suicide in Nordrhein-Westfalen in 1971 and 1972, there was found to be no connection between their dates of birth and their later suicide. The ratio between the distribution of births obtained and the mathematical probability ranged from 50% to 75%. Consequently no geophysical or cosmic factor exists which could connect the dates of these persons and their later suicide.
