Deaths / RIP

[collapsedhole]

jumping in front of a train or laying on the tracks is brutal/badass. surely not the cowards way out.

guns are used in the US more so then countries where they are unavailable, but they're really unreliable unless you have serious firepower. most people living in poverty just have shotguns and there are plenty of stories of people living after blowing their faces off so one would have to be very unstable to choose that method.

I once caught a docu. on PBS about suicide in Japan via their bullet train. It happened so often that there was a specific announcement for employees for suicide via train. I think Japan's suicide rate has gone down a little the last few years...?

For jumping, this is a good story: https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Fucked-Up_Mad_Max/10586

I think I've only known two people whom offed themselves. One was the father of an aunt I do not care for. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He shot himself with a rifle that he had hidden when family took all of his other firearms. The other, was a junkie about to go to prison. He shot up a bunch of coke & climbed up into the heating ducts or attic or something.

re-suicide.

as a psychiatric nurse have seen a lot of successful attempts but also a lot of failures, and i don't mean ill thought out attempts or 'cries for help'
like a lot of things, suicide is something you need to apply yourself to to ensure success.

knew Romero personally. met him at several festivals when I was working for comics and horror fest. cool guy.
I think he lost it (artistically) a few years ago, his latest works were ugly (Island of the dead had some great moments, despite asia argento and the "thinking Zombie") , but the trilogy, craze, martin, monkey shines, etc. were all good (more or less).
his conceptual work on Zombies was great and agreeable, despite the liberal overtone.

personally he was very smart and great fun to be around with.

It's brutal for sure. I have to go to work every day by train and I surely hear at least once a month that there's a delay because of a "human accident" somewhere on the rail-network. Once I witnessed the aftermath myself on the opposite railway, the legs were separated from the rest of the body over the distance of one village at least.

Sucks for the train driver of course, wouldn't choose this job nowadays with such a high ratio of rail suicides.

If you want to off yourself, do it decent with a car in the garage, good ol' carbon monoxide is a clean and comfortable way out.

If you're going to kill yourself I don't think "clean and comfortable" are generally very important considerations to the party at hand.

Not true. Plenty of instance when the suicide considered some methods over others. In a lot of cases it's a matter of using whatever is handy, certainly, but if you've got a choice you should use it. I know I'd prefer clean and comfortable. Nembutal or nitrous oxide, together with larges amounts of alcohol and drugs. The last thing I'd do is something like jump in front of a train or truck.

It's a real pity one can't just go to the doctor, explain one's situation, and be prescribed something effective and painless, then make one's arrangements, say one's goodbyes and then just die. Instead we have various scary, painful and unconditional "methods" that put most people off except the very desperate. Suicide should be for all.

I hanged myself (I passed out then came round, sorry) comfortably off a door handle, just had to take into my head that breathing was just another thing in my life that I was denied and would just have to suffer through.

That doesn't sound very comfortable.
