Discussion Have you read stories of accidental deaths and contemplate if you should use it for suicide?

[IrRegularjoe]

I've read articles and think I should just do that. Two that come to mind. There was a guy who was an alcoholic and wanted to get more drunk so he got his wife do to an enema of alcohol.
The other one is a guy who was carrying his wine bottles in a bag, when apparently one had broken. The broken bottle cut his femoral artery and he passed from his injuries.

Sorry if it sounds vulgar.

I'm from Australia and there was a news story just recently about a guy who was skateboarding while holding a bottle of alcohol and cut his femoral artery and died.

For me I have a rule I tend to stick by, which is that if the method is uncommon, there's probably a reason for it. Many similar accidents would have occurred without people dying, it's just the ones where the person dies that get reported.

To cut the femoral artery would require a very deep and painful wound. If it happens, your odds of being saved are not very good.

Yeah sometimes people die from really dumb shit and I wonder why people could fail in suicide but died from like slipped on the stairs or eating something wrong.... human body is really unpredictable.

It's crazy isn't it, people trying desperately to end it and can't, someone else chokes on a grape or bumps their head or trips and falls and it's game over.

Life is like a cruel joke.

I listen to forensics podcasts. One soupse seems to be poisoning the other with anti-reeze/glocol quite a lot. The word that keeps jumping out at me to do with glycol is "tasteless." Hmmmm

I'm sure there'd be a Megathread for it if it truly worked well lol

Just looked it up - not sure I'd like that method... even if it is odourless and tasteless - wiki says you need almost 1g per kg of weight to be lethal, that's quite a glug.

Haha yeah it usually means the Significant Others in the podcasts havr to do it over a few days constnatly and, you're right, it is a pretty violent death... which makes for a more suspenseful episode

It's so awful. They think they have the flu when their significant other was poisoning them.
