Abstract: 

We have studied the relationship between death due to suicide incident in United Sate and various Solar, Interplanetary and Geomagnetic Activity parameters, such as Sunspot Numbers (SSN), Solar Flare Index (SFI), Sudden Storm Commencements (SSC), and geomagnetic activity Ap, and Kp Indices observed during the period of 1997 to 2010. The data shows that the number of deaths due to suicide and suicide rate (Death due to suicide per 100000) is well correlated with the yearly mean of Sunspot Numbers (SSN), Solar Flare Index (SFI), Sudden Storm Commencements (SSC), and geomagnetic activity parameter Ap, and Kp Indices. We have calculated a large negative correlation, with correlation coefficients of -0.749, -0.684, between yearly total number of deaths due to suicide and the geomagnetic activity parameters Kp, Ap, index . Negative correlation, with correlation coefficients of -0.814, -0.754 has been obtained between the yearly rate of deaths (Death per 100000) due to suicide and the geomagnetic activity parameters Kp, Ap, Further we have determined negative correlation, with a correlation coefficient of -0.761,-0.789, between yearly total number of deaths due to suicide and the yearly mean of the SSN and SFI , -0.762 and -0.80, between yearly rate (Death per 100000) of deaths due to suicide and the SSN, SFI .From the statistical analysis of sudden storm commencements (SSC), and death due to suicide, we have obtained a negative correlation, with correlation coefficient of -0.658 , between the yearly total number of male deaths due to suicide and Sudden Storm Commencements (SSC), as well as a negative correlation, with a correlation coefficient of -0.573 , between the yearly rate (Death per 100000) of deaths due to suicide and Sudden Storm Commencements (SSC).
