Suicide and the methods used was never the topic latin. The topic was suicide verses a decades plus long period of imprisonment for which I would choose to go and meet St Peter.

Perhaps in your case Arsenal, you would be meeting St.Lucifer?

Hanging is quiet efficient. I have seen videos of people hanging themselves and they don't seem to be suffering and die rather quickly.

Not just one video, but multiple videos of watching people die by hanging! That's a bit concerning. I would walk a mile to avoid watching that, even once!

I believe it was two videos; both were suicides where the persons video taped themselves.

World Suicide Prevention Day 2021

One in every 100 deaths worldwide is the result of suicide. It can affect every one of us. Each and every suicide is devastating and has a profound impact on those around them. However, by raising awareness, reducing the stigma around suicide and encouraging well-informed action, we can reduce instances of suicide around the world. World Suicide Prevention Day is an opportunity to raise awareness of suicide and to promote action through proven means that will reduce the number of suicides and suicide attempts globally . . .

You'd have to wonder why as it's not like they were going to be able to watch the videos later !

Perhaps they wished to document it was a suicide and not a murder? In one case the person was doing a live broadcast and his friends called the police but they arrive too late. Or maybe this was their 15 minutes of fame?

Thats a very assute assumption, although my money is either on your second thought there OR they WANTED people to watch it and feel hurt perhaps - but who knows, the trouble is when people carry out such things their mind is rarely in any 'normal" state of thinking straight of course :-(

For detailed advice and comparison of suicide methods, "The Peaceful Pill Handbook" (Amazon $95 or free from KAT) is an interesting read. Written by Australia's Dr Death.

And you're posting THAT info on World Suicide prevention day !? Someone obviously didn't get the memo.
