SMITH, Judge.
Appellant asserts that the trial court erred in affirming the award of the Board of Workers' Compensation. The award was based upon a finding that Gary Allen Gore committed suicide as a result of work-related injuries. Appellant does not contend that an award cannot be based upon suicide. See McDonald v. Atlantic Steel Co., 133 Ga. App. 157 ( 210 S.E.2d 344) (1974). Rather, appellant contends that the Board's finding of suicide was based solely upon incompetent evidence. We reject this contention. The evidence of record clearly authorized a finding that appellant committed suicide. Since there was evidence in support of the Board's finding, the judgment must be affirmed. Rucker v. Universal Memorial Co., 145 Ga. App. 724 ( 244 S.E.2d 584) (1978).
Judgment affirmed. Quillian, P. J., and Birdsong, J., concur.
