The "excessively painful" part is rather questionable even when no any analgesic or anesthetic agent is used to mitigate discomfort. Some users reported the absence of significant painAlso, drowning is a non-method (non-method defined as excessively painful and/or less reliable CTB method)
Non-methods that should not be attempted
Sorry if this has already been asked, but what about stepping in front of speeding traffic on a motorway? The only drawback being that other people would end up traumatised. Besides how cruel that is to impose your death on other unsuspecting people... you are more likely to just end up being...

Mm yes, shallow water blackout. That may have less pain, and ofc, drowning kills many a year (and sleeping pills and similar may increase risk and reduce pain)... still, there are other methods available that can have 0 pain, and faster time to unconsciousness.The "excessively painful" part is rather questionable even when no any analgesic or anesthetic agent is used to mitigate discomfort.

Viability of Drowning?
Viability of drowning? I live in a coastal region, so naturally I've been growing an affection for the sea. When it comes to CTB, FSH has been the way I've accepted I'll do it. I wonder how it might compare? Hanging is more painful, but considering I get the technique right I should be lights...Are there.. good methods?
I do not think I would rely on helium because it is rare on Earth and we have a limited amount, therefore it will be harder to find. I plan on just going down to the store and buying some nice rope, and then going home and tying a nice noose. That is, if I finally decide to do it. I don't know...
And if discomfort is a big concern, the person should just use fast-acting anesthetics like concentrated N₂O.
As for reliability,

The mentioned fatality rate for drowning seems to be a bit too good for an "unreliable non-method".
I just don't get why complicate things with gas and water vs just gas. I have a feeling 2 or so tanks of nitrogen would turn a car into a coffin... but idk the volume of air and amount of litres needed.
If you consider the whole procedure in each case, you may notice that gas asphyxiation + drowning could be more simple than gas asphyxiation to death with a comparable level of reliability. A large pool of water is a very simple and very reliable insulator between the lungs and oxygen from the ambient atmosphere. The process of inducing loss of consciousness can be as easy as presented on the videos below
yes, one can easily go unconscious.... but if one doesn't fall correctly in the water one will wake up.... and none of the videos show water.
Some practice may help with that. I never had abrupt loss of control over the body in my experiments. There was always a short period after noticeable onset of symptoms during which well coordinated movements were still possible. You can see how the guy on the second video above managed to land properly once he realized that fainting was coming.
Attaching weights to the neck or the chest reduces such chances to nearly zero. There are theoretical reasons to think that regaining partial consciousness can be possible, but the sensitivity to discomfort would likely be severely reduced in this state, especially under the effects of N₂O.
Do you think the potential convulsions from the gas (N2O or N2) are a concern if one is doing it in a bathtub?
