List of heads of state and government who took their own lives
Appearance
(Redirected from List of heads of state and government who committed suicide)
A number of heads of state and heads of government have taken their own lives, either while in office or after leaving office. National leaders who take their own lives while in office generally do so because their leadership is somehow threatened – for instance, by a coup or an invading army. Some have done so under compulsion.
