Method A suicide by electrocution performed by a medical professional, 2021 [+photos]

I have found that in my country I can purchase used defibrillator pads from just about 50 usd. That would probably be better than using just two wires as in my past electrocution thread (https://sanctioned-suicide.net/thre...cal-engineer-2022-photos.160648/#post-2467057).

Abstract

We report a Case of a medical professional, with a very good knowledge of emergency medical devices, who committed suicide using defibrillator pads to electrocute. The decedent attached the defibrillator pads in the standard position on his chest and manually connected the terminals to an extension cord through an additional switching device. When he switched on the device, electricity passed through his heart. The autopsy showed attached defibrillator pads and severe skin burns beneath it. Scene findings were consistent with suicide. The cause of death was electrocution and manner of death was suicide. Suicide by electrocution is uncommon and suicide by electrocution using defibrillator pads has not been reported in English literature.

I have read that low frequency (about 50 hz) is better at killing, so electrical engineer method seems better.

The heart is particularly susceptible to low frequency current e.g. 50 Hz, but not to higher frequencies.

Seems like a reliable way to go if you know what you're doing (as if youre a medical professional), but if sth goes wrong, damn that's gotta be painful.
