I tried the CO method last week but failed.I woke up after 15 hours of losing consciousness/coma but luckily iam unharmed except for a severe headache that went away after some pills and getting fresh air.My question is does lying on the floor vs on the bed/raised surface has effect on whether the method works especially if you are doing it in a room.

Carbon monoxide rises upwards and it is recommended to be elevated as high up as you can.
Also, did you seal any gaps in doors and vents with duct tape ?

I had meticulously sealed any possible air inlets but i was sleeping on the floor maybe that was the glitch on the plan.
I will try sleeping on the bed next time though it doesn't add up since a bed is just a few centimeters (around 50) from the floor.

Iam not taking any chances though during the next time.


I appreciate your insight

do you know the dimensions of the room?
also is there any other place you can get to that is smaller?
by the way i'm sorry for what you went through op, how have you been feeling since then?

Maybe the ppm was not high enough , if you reach 10 000 ppm, it will be lethal quick.

Can you describe the size of the room and what you had to make the CO? Maybe with a photo of the room? It would help to see what happened and for the knowledge of others.

It must be very upsetting knowing that a lot of people ctb every year accidentally with carbon monoxide.

i feel your pain. it was so hot, i couldn't take it. i was in there for a long time. until i saw only a few embers. that's when i gave up. didn't feel the headache til the next day or so. co is supposedly only slightly lighter than o2. i was in a chair. not sure in lying down was the problem.

Is it possible to do CO like the inert gas mask way? Finding a container where you could seal it but still see it isn't filling with smoke, by having a viewing window or being glass and maybe leaving a gauge in it, then use a long tube to suck through so heat will dissipate before it gets to your mouth. No need to block a whole room then. Am I missing something.

Yes if you can get a CO cylinder that would be like inert/gas /N2. Otherwise producing CO by mixing sulfuric acid + formic acid, but you will have to "purify" the CO from acids fumes of the reaction, needs lab tools.

OP moost probably failed bc of staying on the floor where there is the least CO concentration. Maybe consider a tent in the room?

Ok, or I suppose even if someone could buy a plastic sheet and partition off half of the room from top to bottom, just leaving room for a table to lie on and the CO source a 'safe' distance away, or under the table.

I survived poisoning years ago when I was renting a single room and the gas fire went out overnight. The gas also ran out so I might have survived because it ran out in time, but it could also have been because it was a high ceilinged room with a draught., so concentration would never have been enough. If it was smaller I might have gone.

I suppose it might be possible if fish tank glass would stand high heat inside it. The top could be sealed with a barbecue in it and the tubing for the airstone or a long piece of garden hose used to inhale through.

Yes, this is a brilliant idea about reducing the room size.
Using charcoal chimney stacks placed upon a steel or ceramic container filled with an inch of water would also cut down on a fire hazard.

I've thought about the acid combination but decided against it.
Using a co cylinder for the inert gas method may be worth looking into though.
I wonder what size cylinder would do the trick though ? Idk.

No one is going to be selling CO cylinders to random people.

It's really not hard to ctb with CO using charcoal and I say that based on the numbers of people who do it in all types of rooms with just one normal sized grill. People do it all the time. I was hoping for some details here.

If you don't like acids, you can consider producing CO by heating sodium oxalate or potassium oxalate



A small note about the produced graphite. I think, it can be explained by the Boudouard reaction

2CO = CO2 + C

rather than "incomplete pyrolysis of organic substances" as said on the video.

Thanks for this. I'll look into it.

I know boc in the UK don't deliver cylinders to residential addresses.
Just found out that carbon monoxide is also used as a food additive for things like red meat. Weird.

I purchased a tank of calibration gas online that is CO and nitrogen and had it shipped to me without issues.

Their pants are up but looks like poo on the floor. I'm confused by that photo and how is the closest person so twisted at the head they've marked the face out on? So even when CO knocks you out, your body is still going to be doing weird shit?

It's meat from the grill. The text that went with the photo said they had cooked meat on the grill. I have puzzled over the positions of the bodies too. I'm guessing the man was in front of the door so the girl wouldn't panic and open it. And maybe she was trying to escape when they both lost consciousness. There may have been some convulsions after they passed out.

Notice the red color of the visible skin, indication death from CO.

I don't think the photo is genuine.
The biggest error here is the obvious gap beneath the door !
Anyone attempting the co method would seal all the gaps in the room where gas could escape.
Also, people have failed co method due to lying on the floor because co gas rises.
So why were they on the floor and not on the bed ?

Mixed with nitrogen, interesting. I've looked into calibration CO. Did you have it simply released into the open room?

I found this:

Mix, Carbon Monoxide 100 PPM, Oxygen 2%, Balance Nitrogen Calibration Gas in a 105 Liter Cylinder C-10 Connection

This is a low amount of CO.
We're not supposed to post vendors on here but that isn't the site I used. You want to look at the single gas products then look for CO and then it will show you what it is mixed with. I purchased a 20 percent carbon monoxide + 80 percent nitrogen 550L tank from an online vendor in Canada and they shipped it to the USA. Separately I bought a nitrogen regulator, flow gauge, nonrebreather medical mask and an adapter (which was hard to find but it's part# 698944072858) so the nitrogen regulator would fit on the tank. Clearly I have not tried it or I likely would be gone...I failed partial hanging and was in the psych ward for a while as a result and am trying to recover from suicidal ideations but still think about exiting often. Nembutal seems like the ideal way to go but I think this is the next best thing and is a combo of Kevorkian and Nitschke methods but shouldn't require a bag over your head like nitrogen only requires. It should be 200,000 PPM of CO in a 20 percent mix that would cause unconsciousness in seconds and death in 1 to 3 minutes and the tank should release the gas for about 25 to 30 min when set at 15 LPM.
