hello

so chester bennington; the lead singer of linkin park died by hanging. at least according to the media, he used a belt. does anyone know what he affixed the belt to? i am drawing inspiration because was not light so im wondering if anyone knows how most commonly people affix the belt. i highly doubt he hung the belt from a ceiling. im not exactly light im about 170 pounds so not all of us can attach ourselves to a curtain rod

He wedged his belt over the top of a door frame.

From firsthand experience, I would personally not recommend this.

RIP Chester. Legend in my book

can you explain why?

In my experience, trying to create an anchor point via wedging a belt in the side of a door was not properly secure and resulted in a failed attempt after some combination of myself and the belt shifted in such a way that I regained consciousness nearly immediately after blacking out.

There are a multitude of variables that could affect the viability of this method, of course, but I don't want anyone to take unnecessary risks and suffer potentially serious after-affects, whether physical or psychological.

As noted, numerous people have succeeded using this method, but it strikes me as something born more of desperation than calculation, and I'm just personally uncomfortable with the idea of people attempting it as a result.

i did some further thinking and
was wondering if i made a very thick knot, drape it over the door frame then do a knot around neck. i was going to do sitting ive heard alot about people kneeling and giving out


ive seen a lot of knots on various links, but for this mode what knot do you think would be best if i plan on being seated

If u have access to a hammer and 10D nails. Loop the belt buckle around. Then attach the belt high up into wood through the holes in the belt. I've just heard this. I agree with Lux, don't attempt it. Way too many things can go wrong. Too many variables.
