Method AED - defibrillator suicide / Electrocution

[dmdmdm]

Hello,

I've just seen the following scene in Breaking Bad:

--> The guy commited suicide by attaching one of the pads on his heart, and a cable under his tongue, then turned on the AED and died quickly.

Would that actually work as simply and smoothly as portrayed in the clip?

Possible but not easy.

No. All AEDs analyse the cardiac rhythm before issuing a shock. They won't shock you if you have a normal rhythm.

I love this scene, i can relate to Mr. Schuler, that feeling of having fucked up my own business and professional career.

Over dramatized and fake for tv! Ditto what sanitystruggle said
