The most common associated factor was mental illness, which was reported in 168 out of 356 (47%) people who died by suspected suicide. Alcohol and substance misuse was reported in 80 out of 356 (22%) and a domestic abuse perpetrator history was reported in 67 out of 356 (19%) of people who died by suspected suicide.
From these data you cannot conclude what the risk of suicide was in someone who had a mental illness or other associated factor, as denominator data were not available.
