Story Isabella Blow suicide story (she made 3 attempts, success on the third - with weed killer...)

[LittleJem]

So the first time she took an OD of random pills. Didn't work. Second time she jumped out of a low window and broke both her ankles. Then the third time she drank weedkiller. She really wanted to go. She was worried she hadn't drank enough, but she had - they had no antidote for her.

Weedkiller? I never thought of that I'm adding that to my list of potential ways to ctb.

That's sad she tried so many painful things to try to end her life. Too bad she didn't meet us so she could have had a peaceful end. Weedkiller made her suffer.

"On February 11, 2010, just a few weeks before his next show in Paris, Lee Alexander McQueen was found dead at his home in London. He did enough coke to kill himself three or four times over, swallowed some sleeping pills, then went into his closet, looped his favorite brown belt around his neck, slashed his wrists, and hung himself; leaving behind a note that read in part: "Please look after my dogs. Sorry, I love you. Lee. PS Bury me at the church.""

Damn he didn't fuck around!

Lots of respect for those two.

I've read several books about her and her friend McQueen. Both truly tortured and tragic humans with such deep pain.

Exactly, people should be able to die in a humane and controlled way. It sucks that by not allowing euthanasia and banning substances like SN, N etc, they want us to die violently and painfully.

yes.

Some people actually want to die in a violent and painful way though. There's that to remember.

Isabella was an incredibly rich And well connected woman. She could have found a far less painful way if she wished.

I'd rather ctb with killer weed.. and SN

The magazine article says they were "lovers without sex" and in one of the photos she's practically wearing a bondage outfit.

I loved her and Lee so much, they were both iconic and it's so tragic what happened to them.

Hope they're at peace now.

It's horrible that society restricts access to more humane and peaceful methods, leaving people to use painful methods like weedkiller to die. How sad
