You asked

Would you please be able to let me know if there are any records of suicides recorded by time/date?

We said

​Thank you for your enquiry.

Our mortality statistics are created using information from death certificates provided by the General Register Office. Our data is based on the death registration process, using information taken directly from the death certificate. We only hold information that is recorded by a doctor, or information about the cause and circumstances of death which are provided by a coroner. Time of death is not recorded on the death certificate.

We produce provisional suicide data for England on a quarterly basis, with the latest update including deaths registered from January to June 2020. The publication explains that the majority of suicides require an inquest, where a coroner must investigate the cause of death. The amount of time taken to hold an inquest causes a lag between the date the death occurred and the date the death is registered. We refer to this as a registration delay and registration delays for deaths caused by suicide tend to be five to six months on average. Because our data is based on death registrations, this delay means that most deaths recorded for 2020 so far would have occurred in 2019. More detailed information can be found in the publication.
