Anyone else feel their privacy is violated with the death investigation?

[monkeysee2]

Whenever there is a suicide there will be an investigation into the death.

This means the police will go through all my devices and even call my friends and family asking them about my death.

They don't just stop at interviews, they will go through all medical history including intimate details disclosed in therapy sessions.

In the UK, this is all published in a publicly available report. There will be an inquest that any member of the public can attend, including journalists who can go onto publishing articles about my death.

In UK law, there is no expectation of privacy in death.

I feel humiliated and exposed. Not only am I denied a peaceful means of exiting this world but also cannot be afforded any dignity in death as well.

Yeahhh I've thought about this a bit. The idea of my family seeing everything ive done, or complete strangers seeing everything ive done online after I die is wildly embarrassing,, but yknow you'll be dead so if they find anything super bad what are they gonna do? Yell at your corpse?

 

[da5ae5ae]

Honestly I didn't realise the extent. Thanks for the information. I don't care so much for my own violation of privacy - I feel far worse for what the people attached to me will made to do.

 

[StupiderJuniper]

yeahhhhh it really fucking sucks, can't even have a bit of privacy in death. it technically doesn't matter but the idea is kinda depressing. i'd also be scared of the investigation bringing harm to the friends i trusted, accusing them of causing it or whatever.

Personally, I can see why they have to. I suspect some homicides are tried to pass off as suicide. I think a murdered victim deserves to have their killer arrested.

Certain things would still embarass me. If images of my living environment were released. I don't feel ashamed that I may suicide one day though and, that people may find out about it. In a weird way, it would sort of validate what they already knew. That my life was hard from the start.

 

[SighCry]

Out of curiosity is there always an inquest into a death in the UK? What about Australia (if anyone knows)?

 

[dirkw83]

I mean honestly, if I get to the point that I'm dead, then I really no longer care lol. It's getting to that point that's the part I care about..

 

[Jadeith]

f they find anything super bad what are they gonna do? Yell at your corpse?

Exactly this. I mean, whatever they dig up, however embarrassing, won't influence me in the slightest. Only downside is that making some information public might influence those still alive. Friends and/or family might face specific type of backlash as neglecting and unsupportive.

True. Thing is that some "investigators" might want to go a bit overboard and start accusing SN or rope sellers, forum members etc because justice must be served and guilty must be found.

That's a good point. It's sad that we have no control over the narrative once we are gone. I've thought about leaving a note to specifically tell people not to blame the facilitators of my suicide. That- one way or another, I would have found a way.

But then, I doubt it makes much difference if people are determined to point responsibility/ blame elsewhere. I doubt it would actually happen in my case though. I'm too old and have been suicidal/ miserable for too long for it to be questioned so intensely- I predict anyway.

I will be dead. I do not care. Hope they enjoy my porn collection.

i'm curious as well

 

[SighCry]

I've done some research and it seems that in Australia they don't - unless there's a reason to suspect foul play, inadequate medical/psychological care, or if you suicide at a known location they might want to investigate to prevent future occurrences etc.

i was gonna say "easy way to prevent this is to delete your socials and wipe yourself from the internet!" but 1) easier said than done and 2) instagram and facebook keep your information for a certain period of time after you delete it. May be smart to wipe everything a month or so before CTB? hard to plan ahead that far for some people, but it does prevent some embarrassment in certain ways.

just checked, its 90 days. so if you can handle 3 months without social media before ctb, youd be in the clear

 

[DeadnDusted]

For this reason I actually began having ideas to troll them a little beyond the grave. Like maybe downloading a library of satanic and occult ritual books and making fake social media accounts with such content leading up to my death. It's kinda stupid I know.

But realistically I have no real private things to be violated. Most embarassing theyll see is if they dug thru search history and found anime porn or something.

This is why I'll be doing mine the middle of nowhere. People will hang onto the hope I'm alive, despite the fact I won't be. But it stops me being found.

It's like worrying you're gonna soil yourself upon death. Which may happen. Will I care? Nope.

i'm relieved to hear this

The more I hear about UK laws in this regard, the more my anger for the UK increases.

Yes in the UK, for every "suspicious" death (and every suicide is treated as one) there is a public inquest.

I don't mind there being an investigation but I don't want the results to be publicly available for anyone to see. Makes me feel exposed.

Although I will be dead so hopefully it won't matter.

 

[Cepheuss]

Yea i think about this a lot. People always say dead people have no rights which isnt true but you do lose all privacy. I just wanna be able to leave freely without anyone being able to potentially find out all my business, see all my posts and try to understand me without ever having met me. I just wanna be able to leave with some privacy

the UK being a nightmare dystopia exhibit #3107717331

anyway, one could just... not think abt it. youre gonna be dead anyway, not like itll matter to you at that juncture.

 

[walsun]

It's a nightmare of mine.
Everything laid out bare, and my body too.
I plan on buying a prepaid funeral plan thaat gets done with it quickly and privately.
As for my Internet history. I don't care, I'll be dead anyways

 

[inpainnosleep]

I hate this. I think the worst part is that they do an autopsy, which goes against my desires and is generally prohibited by my religion. But I know they wouldn't care about something like that.
