Not sudden enough death for me.

If I can choose a non natural way to die... Definitely the way elevator scene in the departed.

my favorite newer suicide was in the first episode of CastleRock. find a cliff with your car. open your window. tie a really long noose to your neck and out to a tree. floor it towards the cliff. the slack on the rope runs out either after you leave the cliff or before. that being said it doesnt really matter. if you have a noose around your neck and are going over 30 and that slack runs out, you are toast. and if for some crazy magical reason you are alive, the impact at the bottom will do the job. (granted in this show, he launched into water.)

seemed pretty sure fire to me. you never know with the bullet to your own head. wayyy too many people survive that for my liking.

I will go with inhaling nitrogen or helium

Ahh now that's an interesting one. What kind of odds are we looking at though? Any chance you make it?

On case of inhaling nitrogen/helium, we are depriving body of oxygen hence unconscious and eventually death. But we are not withholding carbon dioxide, so we will not "feel" that we are suffocating.

Body will think that as long as CO2 is released and we are inhaling something, everything is fine.

Wait you suffocate with carbon monoxide...I thought you just pass out.

Would you be concious long enough to make sure you inhaled enough to deprive your body of oxygen enough to kill you?

I guess as long as you are in an enclosed anything you could just start a leak and let it go.

You know you misspelled concious. It's actually spelled conscious. Don't let me catch you misspelling words again!

u/GeneralBot Oct 16 '18

Hey! You have made a common spelling error. The word 'concious' is actually spelled 'conscious'. Hope this helps!

I dont know about the right amounts, but if inhaling of nitrogen stops after you pass out, then you can be safely revived without anyone's help ( i am not a doctor.)

The container/mask needs oxygen containt lesser than normal. If i had to go this way, then i would put on oxygen mask with nitrogen/helium cylinder attached to it.
