After responding to suicides for 25 years... I can say unequivocally that it is the least imaginative and worst way to kill yourself. There are many other painless and more effective ways to do it. People often shoot themselves and do not die and leave themselves permanently disfigured or disabled, or they suffer horribly for extended periods before dying. And they typically leave a horrible mess for others to clean up.
You’re so right. I’ve seen a couple of cases where the intended suicide only succeeded in blowing his face off. Whatever problems were there before are only compounded after.
That's why I wouldn't use a gun either.....
Sleeping pills and a closed garage with car running would be my choice.......That was an uncle's way to go but he made his own choice due to the onset of alzheimers.
