There is a large section on family murder-by-neglect where FGs denied preventative treatments and exams developed, i.e., cervical cancer and died.
There are a number of family suicides, many from exers who will never be heard of. Some died quickly some more slowly via drug overdoses. Most FG you won't find on a rememberance site from the family because they would be considered "rogues" for leaving, "graduates", the spiritually dead. And then the body followed. Seems only a few higher profile members were listed that were suicides.
I firmly believe the suicide rate for family members is higher than the average in society at large. Far higher. It is too bad a scientific polling can't be done to prove this. But maybe one thing could help. People here that are exers could name or number deaths due to suicide/neglect withing the family followed by (FG) or (SG) and the picture would become more clear. This would be people you knew personally, not necessarily closely. Since posting exers represent only a small amound of exers, I think it would show a lot.
I'll start. I was not in long enough to know of any SG suicides personally, though I have read about them. Some NOT HIGH PROFILE FG suicides/neglect that I know of personally are as follows:
neglect: death of an infant during delivery.
suicide successful: Jereboam (FG), DP (FG),
suicide attempts: JS (FG),
