I just received a copy of this book and as I was reading through it I see that the word "committed" is used several times. I work for a suicide prevention organization in MN and we prefer not to use that term when talking about someone taking their life. If someone were to die by a heart attack or cancer you would not say they committed a heart attack. Taking ones life is not a crime but an illness. We prefer to use the terms died by suicide, or took their own life as this refers to the mental illness and the struggles of dealing with a disease. Here is a link to a Huff Post article on the subject. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mental-health-language-committed-suicide_l_5aeb53ffe4b0ab5c3d6344ab
