Oh look, a blog that hasn't been updated in almost a month. Heh.
When it comes to suicide, you've got a fairly standard list of methods to work with: firing a bullet into your head, consuming copious amounts of highly toxic drugs/chemicals, jumping in front or off of something, hanging your neck from something, slicing your wrist (vertically, of course), and drowning. Then you have the weird approaches to offing yourself, which is where I come in.
Y'know when you get a bit of kleenex in your mouth and it dries out your cheek/tongue/gums and then gets stuck and feels really gross? Imagine that times a thousand while choking to death. Fun times.

I like how they didn't figure out the dude had a friggin' Bic stuck in his head until they cut him open at the autopsy.

So much for seat belts saving lives.

Not just electrocution, but judicial electrocution. Might as well do it up right before you go out, just sticking a wire in a socket is kind of lame.

Suicide being acceptable or not, is completely subjective point of view, defined by one's views of life. No one can ever know certainly what moves in other's thoughts. Like speedwell wisely notified, unsuccesful suicide attempts can be easily more tragic than plain death.
Unless need for suicide is removed altogether, hiding information how to do it properly is nothing more than hypocritical cowardness at the best.
I suppose you've left it up to your readers to point out the missing essential ingredients in the above recipes for self-annihilation... namely, luck and skill. I was once told by a psychology professor that suicides fail a lot. Like a LOT. And the results are often more tragic than a nice clean death would have been.
*cough*
Committing sucessful suicide is crazy! And those who right about it might not be all there either, like this religious nut:

I keep coming back to this blog over and over but never find anything new. Chris, have you given up on us?

Another unusual car-related one was in the UK papers recently: Hubby in Aston Martin suicide.
