Here you have it. They are fearmongerers. They do it on purpose to make every method sound and look awful and appalling.
My point here is not to discuss hanging. I'm just saying they have those strategies and their aim is to say anything as long as they can instil fear, disgust and paralyse us, even if it's not true. They'd rather have us continue in a life of pain and misery, even add to our plight by scaring us. I have no words.
Background
Hanging is the most frequently used method of suicide in the UK and has high case fatality (>70%).
Aims
To explore factors influencing the decision to use hanging.
Method
Semi-structured qualitative interviews with 12 men and 10 women who had survived a near-fatal suicide attempt. Eight respondents had attempted hanging. Data were analysed thematically and with constant comparison.
Results
Hanging was adopted or contemplated for two main reasons: the anticipated nature of a death from hanging; and accessibility. Those favouring hanging anticipated a certain, rapid and painless death with little awareness of dying and believed it was a 'clean' method that would not damage the body or leave harrowing images for others. Materials for hanging were easily accessed and respondents considered it 'simple' to perform without the need for planning or technical knowledge. Hanging was thus seen as the 'quickest' and 'easiest' method with few barriers to completion and sometimes adopted despite not being a first choice. Respondents who rejected hanging recognised it could be slow, painful and 'messy', and thought technical knowledge was needed for implementation.
Conclusions
Prevention strategies should focus on countering perceptions of hanging as a clean, painless and rapid method that is easily implemented. However, care is needed in the delivery of such messages as some individuals could gain information that might facilitate fatal implementation. Detailed research needs to focus on developing and evaluating interventions that can manage this tension.
