Is there a way for police to find my body after I’ve left, without them resuscitating me?

[<user>]

I'm hanging myself in the woods. I don't want a random passerby to find my body, no random stranger should have to go through that. I want the police to find my body, but the last time I called them to tell them there would be a suicide they managed to intervene. Can anyone help?

My only solution I can think of is to leave a note you know someone will find within a day or so. Telling them what you did and where you're doing it, and asking them to please contact the police and give them the information.

But again, that means you'd need to plan it so that whoever finds that information won't stop you. You could try mailing it to someone you trust, and track it so you know what day it'll be delieverd and go out early that morning to the woods. Sorry if my answer isn't helpful.

This question is asked at least 5 times a day here.
I would suggest delayed email and CC as many people
as possible. Nothing is stopping a random from finding you just like nothing is stopping you from trying to attempt.

I agree with @Undertow Mermaid. Leave a note, in a sealed envelope, with someone you can trust, with instructions to open it at a certain date and time. The time should obviously be when you are sure you will have gone. It's important that the envelope is sealed, so the person doesn't know its contents until the relevant time. That ensures they can't be accused of being complicit in your death. If you change your mind about ctb, just retrieve the envelope. (Delayed email is basically the same idea, if you prefer a more technology-oriented method.)
