[HumongousTheGod]

For instant death go for 330 + feet minimum.

I've made a similar thread to this, best concise answer was: "150 feet on land , 250 feet on water according to lostallhope.com"

Yes, but also keep in mind how you fall, like if you land on your head you're more likely to die versus landing on your feet or other body parts (which will result in serious injuries or you end up as an vegetable). As far as courage, well alcohol may help as well as certain drugs (if you have access to them), but other than that just make sure height is sufficient and that you land on your head.

In case anyone's interested, and wondering, "just how high is that building, anyway?" here's a calculator:

Complex, I know, but no one ever said a successful suicide was simple.

I'm not sure about the water but the land seems quite low... that's about 13-15 storeys... I would rather go higher, of course you would probably die but I would rather be certain

YES! Don't go on anything lower, or you might suffer and/or getting rescued...

I'm thinking either El Capitan in Yosemite, CA 3,000' above it's base (see my profile picture) or Royal Gorge Bridge, CO deck height 955'. I think it would be pretty damn hard to fail on either of those. Can't beat the scenery either lol.

What height did he jump from? Sorry if this is insensitive. You don't have to answer if you don't want to.

Like 40 feet. My other friend told me about it. I'm not sure if it was suicide but you dont jump off a wall for no reason and I was apprehensive to ask because the friend who told me about this lost his brother to suicide last year :/
