Methods that leave the body unrecognizable

[orpheus_]

I have my potential chosen method already, but I'm curious about the options.

What are some methods of ctb that will leave my body completely/mostly destroyed, unrecognizable? I was thinking of burning myself alive but that's quite long, painful and just not a good idea in general. Jumping off a building is also quite an obvious one but I would prefer my death to not be so public.

I am torn apart between wanting to leave as little mess as possible, and leaving my body completely massacred. I'm trans and I hate my body, the thought of anyone handling it after my death makes me want to puke.

Jumping in front of a train sounds good for this. You can decapitate yourself if you lay your neck on the tracks, but if you just jumped with no care about precision then you'd turn mangled or even into mush with enough speed, as some people claim. However aiming for the head is a good idea, since you wouldn't wanna suffer for long while being aware of your body.
Personally, I have tracks near my home and there's little traffic around there, but maybe you don't have a quiet spot like that.

I also thought about this, a subway train was my go-to method in the past but I decided I really don't want to traumatize the driver. Thanks for the suggestion though

Fire. Explosion. If you don't want to be recognized, try to go somewhere remote or unreachable (bottom of body of water, forest).

they will always look at dental records :/ kinda hard to be ]unrecognizable

Because of how we use dental records, scraps of fabric (even burnt), bone fragments, and DNA in general, it is nearly impossible to be truly unrecognizable. The reason many bodies end up being "John/Jane Does" is because they belong to missing people or the homeless who may have had less access to dentists/doctors.

Spoiler: Triggering Uvalde school shooting details

"The victims inside a fourth-grade class at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, were so badly shot up that DNA samples were required to identify them in a process that took many harrowing hours, a local official said."

It's not worth sacrificing the potential peacefulness to strive for something unachievable.

I'm also trans, I get it. But they'll probably still have to handle what's left of your body to get DNA. Plus, when they identify you, you'll still be misgendered. It's something you have to come to peace with.
