If I were to say, jump off a 36 metre tall grain silo onto gravely ground, what would likely happen to my body? Would it be likely I'd die on impact? Would it be messy?
It sounds like you're in the grey area of 'Probably but it's not 100%'. Making sure you go headfirst would increase the chances immensely as well as likelihood of instant unconsciousness.

Its probably deadly but not guaranteed, there is a slight chance to survive it. But that would be very unlikely.

It wouldn't be likely to kill you on impact, no. You might get lucky, but most likely you'd either die slowly from internal injuries and blood loss, or get saved with serious injuries, depending on how quickly someone finds you.
As to messy... Depends on your definition. Jumping isn't usually overly messy (like spray bits of skull and brain matter about with a gunshot to the head), but you're talking about a pool of blood and a generally unpleasant looking body.
The sources I've read say that suicide by jumping should be highly lethal at 50 meters and up onto hard ground... so 36 meters seems like it falls into that risky category. I'd be very worried about surviving with serious injuries, and would find a different location or method.

It's just that that's the highest thing in this place - and most other methods are unavailable to me.

I think 36 meters is in the most cases enough to die. But yes there is a small risk. There are even some few people who survived more than 100 meters, but extremely unlikely.

To each their own. I'd pick hanging over a fall that might not be fatal, but it's not my call. I guess landing head first and definitely not feet first would be the best advice if you're dead set on jumping from this location.

I just don't know. I also have a fear of heights which could make the chance of survival higher. I've been struggling to be able to close the Carotid arteries in practise. This is a nightmare.
I jumped, only 25m though so you might get luckier than me. You go bang and crunch and destroy your body.

@nzdarkshark, can you get to another location somehow, with some effort & planning? And when you say "most other methods are unavailable", which options *are* available? Because jumping from an iffy height isn't very sensible.
I'm sorry about everything that's led you to contemplating this. x

My only options really are suspension (most likely partial) or jumping from the silo. I can't receive packages because I live with my parents and I cannot drive.
I guess I could get hit by a truck - but I don't want to involve innocent people if I can help it.

Yeah, no dont drag innnocents into your suicide, it would traumatize them, and many trauma survivors commit suicide too. So thats bad. My philosophy is everything that increases suffering is immoral.

Would CO with charcoal be possible? It seems better than jumping from something not quite high enough to definitely kill you.

I don't know how I could get it..
Is there a megathread on that method I could give a read? I'm literally so lost and feel so pathetic that I'll look into any method (that doesn't involve others).

There are several threads about charcoal - I hope this link will take you to my search results:
It's not the easiest method to get right, but if you can get Asian charcoal that seems to work better than European or American kinds. It's not expensive, so maybe you can buy it casually for your newfound interest in barbeque grilling or clam baking or something.
You do need a small space that's separate from where anyone else could get overcome by it, but it's worth looking into.
Be gentle with yourself. I'm sorry you're contemplating this and that you feel lost. x

I'll look into it - I just don't know how I can get my hands on charcoal and heat it without my parents getting suspisious. I don't know where I would do it either - unless I somehow got into the small shed out back and taped the door (which has a hole in it).
