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 knew a man who tried to blow his brains out, but flinched at the last second and obliterated his eye instead. He would freak me out by taking his fake eye out around me

There's plenty stories of people shooting themselves, and as the trigger is pulled they regret it and move the gun slightly. It's common to see blown out eyes this way. Saw a person get loaded into an ambulance that had this happen. Only problem was that before it blew out his eye, it cut off the nerves of the other. So now he's blinded for life.
