Lack of sources

The lead paragraph reads "Greenland has the highest suicide rate in the world: reports between 1985 and 2012 showed that an average of 83 people in 100,000 died by suicide yearly.". It cites this link as source, but Greenland does not appear anywhere on that list. I can't find the supposed source for those numbers. --BirdCities (talk) 14:50, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
