A very interesting article.
For me two key statements come toward the end.
"Did you know that at high altitude, the brain goes through metabolic changes, and some people can adapt while others can't, based on their DNA?"[Renshaw]
"Renshaw, too, is confident his findings are beyond the realm of a fluke, but he isn't willing to dismiss other explanations for the suicide-altitude connection, including studies on gun access. Multiple overlapping factors, he says, are likely in play."
