post hoc ergo propter hoc

Young men are the best patient group for successfully completing suicide
and often the cause is multifactorial and difficult to elucidate
However I think that the upcoming court case has to be taken into account.
Would be useful to know if there had been a *very* recent history of
Aaron's mood seeming to lift or if there was a change in his medication (if
any)

Somewhere a psychiatrist will probably be undertaking a critical event
analysis
