Idaho has many things in common with other states in the country. The main leading causes of death are the common diseases we all know about such as cancer, heart disease, etc. But, Idaho has one cause of death that is more common here than just about anywhere else and it's sad.

PBS shared some data from Stateline that analyzed causes of death for all the states. Here's how Idaho fared compared to the rest of the U.S.

If you look at Idaho's leading causes of death, you'll notice that cancer is #1 followed by heart disease and accidents. But, the one cause of death that is more prevalent here than just about anywhere else is suicide by firearm.

Hopefully, you know by now that help is always available if you find yourself even thinking these thoughts. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24/7 via 1the website or your phone at 1-800-273-8255.
