Peer reviewedWelch, Charles E., III – Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, 1982
Suggests that death may be so personally relevant that its timing may not be random. Analysis of 1,961 deaths during a six-year period in Athens, Georgia, showed people tended to die at times when others would be near rather than during the night. (Author/JAC)

Peer reviewedPalmer, Stuart – Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, 1980

Homicidal offenders are more likely to victimize members of their own families and decidedly more prone to kill themselves. These tendencies are tentatively related to the possible development of a subculture of self-directed violence. (Author)
