[fiction question] How do some people try to commit suicide?

There are tons of methods here.

Lover’s leap or other jumping off from a high place, Drowning, cutting, aphyxiation, gun to dome, gun to heart, crashing into building, other vehicle, etc., stepping out into oncoming vehicle’s path, electrocution, snapping own neck, wood chipper, consuming sand, consuming little bits of metal, etc.

Pills are very popular, and pretty good if you’re not brave. Also you might be rescued in time. They’re not quite as final as some other options.

Smearing oneself in ground beef and jumping headfirst into the crocodile exhibit at the zoo would be a bitchin’ idea.

Ingesting poison, Suicide by cop and hanging haven’t been mentioned yet,

@lynfromnm aphyxiation and snapping one’s own neck kinda covered that.

Ok, I was thinking there may be several ways to accomplish those.

Playing Russian Roulette while drunk.
Suffocation by whipped cream.
Electrocution by dropping a running blowdryer into the bathtub while in it.
Drinking bleach
Slitting wrists
Anorexia
