A study using the populations of Denmark and Austria (a total of 2,052,680 deaths over the time period) found that although people's life span tended to correlate with their month of birth, there was no consistent birthday effect, and people born in autumn or winter were more likely to die in the months further from their birthday.

The lowest reported increases stated suicide is 0.8–1.1 times more likely for queer females [24] and 1.5–2.5 times more likely for queer males. [25] [26] The highest increases reach 4.6 more likely in females [27] and 14.6 more likely in males who do not identify as heterosexual. [28] Race and age also play a factor in the increased risk.

The Times story also cited a buprenorphine study by researchers in Sweden that looked at “100 autopsies where buprenorphine had been detected.” According to the Times, the study found that “in two-thirds, it was the direct cause of death, mostly in combination with other drugs.” It was a misreading of the study.
