Unsuccessful suicide edition

Let's be morbid, shall we?

Van de Putte D, Ceelen W, Gillardin JM, Pattyn P, de Hemptinne B. Attempted Suicide by Auto-Injection of Polyurethane (PU) Foam: Report of a Case. J Trauma. 2007 Jun 1; [Epub ahead of print] No abstract available.

I'm not sure how this would work. Where exactly did it get injected? Ear? Mouth? Belly button?

Panourias IG, Slatinopoulos VK, Arvanitis DL. Penetrating craniocerebral injury caused by a pneumatic nail gun: an unsuccessful attempt of suicide. Clin Neurol Neurosurg. 2006 Jul;108(5):490-2.

Man, I really want to play Quake for some reason.

Burd A, Ahmed K, Noronha FV, Chan JY, Pang PC. Surgical reconstruction of attempted suicide charcoal burns. J Burn Care Res. 2006 May-Jun;27(3):330-2.

Apparently the popular way to snuff yourself out these days in Hong Kong is by burning charcoal in an enclosed space, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Arsefaces!

Spiers AS. Attempted suicide or hitting the nail on the head. Case report. J Fla Med Assoc. 1994 Dec;81(12):822-3.

Another nail one, but this one is way more hardcore, since the personal involved actually hammered a couple of nails into their head with a hammer!

I like these better (although very out of season):
Brazier. Eye damage from Christmas trees. Lancet 1984;2:1335.

Tiede RH, Hover JR, Davies SF. Unilateral phrenic nerve paralysis from cutting down a Christmas tree. South Med J 1994;87:1161-3.

The guy with the polyurethane foam injected it into his nose. There's pictures of the removed, hardened foam in the case report. He might be stupid, but he's the only person in the world with a cast of the inside of his stomach.
