The story of how 4 women committed suicide by starvation

[supermario]

This is an old story, but it shows that suicide by VSED by not one, two, but 4 women simultaneously in Ireland some years ago: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/jan/17/1 Three of them were middle aged and healthy as well. I can't imagine the will power of these women. It's shocking not one of them broke, and kept going until death.

What the story doesn't say is whether they abstained from drinking any fluids.

starving to death is terrible way to die

Catholic fanaticism. Gruesome.

Isn't dehydration faster and easier? If they did die from starvation snd not dehydration, then I'd say these women are pretty silly.

Yep, Catholic fanatics tend to be pretty silly...

death by starvation, why would someone opt for such an arduous and painful death? I hope they are at peace now and free from suffering.

These pious gals didn't think they were doing anything sinful / committing suicide by engaging in extreme fasting, their goal was to ascend into Heaven. It's a freaky Catholic thing, certain "saints" have done it.

It happened 20 years ago. They opted for it because they were brainwashed Catholic fanatics. I wish more of them would choose to join Jesus in such a way instead of terrorizing LGBTQ people.

Apparently, cups and saucepans of water were found in the house, and the women had been drinking.

Many years ago I tried just that and to be honest, past a certain point it turns into an addiction and it's easier than one would think.
Dehydration sucks quickly, but starvation is quit doable.

I wish ceasing to eat or drink was painless. It would be nice if we had a built in painless out.

I hope those women are at peace now. They had an iron will.

I'm 90 pounds and 5'9". Why am I still here?

Yo

Your body can get used to being very skinny. Doesn't mean it's healthy or you will be ok in the long run. I guess it depends on the individual, how much their body can handle.

The irony is that I'm already severely ill from other unrelated problems. Don't know how I haven't dropped dead yet lmao

If those women had refused to drink water, instead of fasting, they'd have died in about 4 days.

I doubt most people will die from a dry fast of just 4 days. From what I've read, it can take at least 10 days, and painfully so.
