i choose to hang myself. my partner is supportive of my choice to ctb, and i want to be with him in my last moments, possibly holding hands. if i hang myself in his house while he's there, will he get in trouble with the law? also what should he do with my body to not get in trouble with the law?
it would take place in virginia state. i do have very suicidal thoughts written down in my text message history and my journal as evidence that its suicide and my own choice.
Think like a police officer/detective and not like a regular person. You need to research how long it takes for someone to fully die from hanging themselves versus how long it takes for someone to typically shower. His Finger prints and DNA in the area and on your body is a shut and closed case. Did you even consider DNA?
Do you have text messages and other written communications that show he is supportive of you dying and knows your plans? Phone records can be reviewed even if you delete texts.
What sounds would a hanging person make? Can they be easily heard by someone in another room? Would your family question how he "didn't know" and demand deeper investigation? Sometimes people caught in the act of hanging don't fully die so if he takes a shower how long should it be for you to fully die without looking like a suspiciously long shower?
Negligent homicide, involuntary manslaughter, and other serious charges can be brought against him if it is documented or proven that he knew what your plans were and did not stop you or attempt to stop you. This is serious and considered felony murder. His life will be over.
It might be better for him to go to sleep while you do this late at night. He should not touch your body..DNA EVIDENCE IS GOLD. Quite frankly it sounds childish to think the excuse of him taking a shower could work. Research this more before you get into a world of trouble and expensive lawyers. Don't do it. It sounds very immature and dangerous.
