Usually I don´t click on those links since they are annoying but these I found fascinating also that in contrary to the media who almost never reveal the methods of the suicide they actually do in this article also I got a lot more insight into these people than I knew before at least some of them.

Interesting but goes to show the twists of articles and you can't always believe what you read. I don't know why Robin Williams is almost always framed as a depressed alcoholic that eventually killed himself. Also, he did not have Parkinson's disease. He had a terrible disease called Lewy body that causes dementia and brain damage. He was a severe case, as discovered post autopsy. His wife wrote this article; I'm surprised she wasn't more vocal for his sake.

I am writing to share a story with you, specifically for you. My hope is that it will help you understand your patients along with their spouses and caregivers a little more. And as for the research you do, perhaps this will add a few more faces behind the why you do what you do. I am sure there...

Thanks you for that post I noticed on Facebook people mostly commented on Budd Dwyer since he was the first I figured they didn´t think they could click further to see the others.

What about Seneca? He first ordered poison from the court and when that failed he ordered to be boiled alive and suffocated in a tub of boiling water (AFAIK)

At least he lived up to his bullshit stoic philosophy.

Edit: what I don't understand is why he didn't just wished to be strangled. Who the fuck wants to be boiled alive as a method of suicide?
