“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. 

If you have a suggestion for a Trifles episode, let us know at trifles @ ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your idea on the air, we'll send you some Sherlockian goodies.

Our Patreon supporters can listen to our shows ad-free and every one of them is eligible for our monthly and quarterly drawings for Baker Street Journals. https:// patreon.com/trifles
