Question

At what age was the youngest person to commit suicide?

Answer 1

In America, A boy aged 4 hung himself.

I don't know if there are any new ones.

but, when I searched it about a year ago, I found that.

Answer 2

Suicide in younger children would probably point at sexual abuse.  The abuse might have been carried on since birth - but it is only as the ego begins to form that a child would be self aware enough to kill himself over it.  That would be 4 or 5 years of age probably.

Answer 3

A 4yr old boy hung himself with a belt in his closet.
