Summary: Introduction:Suicide is a phenomenon that has highly complex factors and that, in recent years, due to its constant growth in terms of morbidity and mortality, suicide has become a serious problem for Public Health. Objective:to analyze the spatial distribution of suicide cases in the state of Espírito Santo between 2001 and 2019. Result:In the analyzed period, 3102 deaths from suicide were recorded in the state, which responded to a standardized average rate of 5.25 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. The results showed a predominance of deaths in the male population, aged between 30 and 39 years and place of occurrence in households. The most used means was hanging, followed by self-intoxication for both sexes. In addition, the microregions of Santa Tereza and Afonso Cláudio had the highest rates over the analyzed period. Conclusion:Through the results obtained, the need for greater State control over the sale of psychosomatic drugs and pesticides becomes evident, in view of the large number of autocides by autointoxication. In addition, in relation to the distribution of suicides, the research can indirectly contribute to the orientation of future campaigns to value life and actions to combat and protect suicide.
