Ilgen MA, Conner KR, Valenstein M, Austin K, Blow FC. Violent and nonviolent suicide in veterans with substance-use disorders. Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs. 2010 Jul 1; 71(4):473-9.

Concurrent psychopathology increased risk for both suicide types; however, the relationship was strongest for nonviolent suicide.
