That’s an irrelevant comparison.

It’s STILL not ‘unique’, as tragic as it is. It happens fairly regularly where I live. And it’s USUALLY tourists who have no absolute awareness/respect for their surroundings. If you stand on the edge of a cliff, there’s a chance you may end up falling off of it.

And then there’s the occasional soul who just simply wants to end it all.
