I research every suicide death in the news...

and try to figure out the person's successful method. Anyone else do this? I just saw where Harrison Wagner died in his car and the autopsy could not determine the cause of death and it makes me wonder if he found a stealthy exit. I know that nitrogen is undetectable but unless you have help there will be evidence left (like the nitrogen tank).

I haven't collected any data but gunshots seem to be the most popular successful method in the USA and that method is too violent for me. Overdose is the most common method in unsuccessful attempts but it is possible that many of the "accidental" overdose deaths reported are actually successful attempts but it is difficult for medical examiners to distinguish between and accident and intentional overdose act. Interestingly enough I find the news generally will not mention the suicide method even if they know.

The most successful forms of suicide is a bullet to the brain stem, N overdose is also fatal as well as fent overdose

i do that too but it seems to me that news about suicide are being censored on the newspaper, even if there are like 10 suicide per day in my country you cant find almost any info about it

They don't want to glorify the idea.
I think the current most likely method is fent overdose, whether that is intentional or unintentional.

I envy those who no longer exist, as they cannot suffer anymore. I especially envy those who had the courage for hanging. Reading about those who are gone just reminds me of what I feel like I am unable to achieve. It makes suicide sound easier when you read about how so many have went through with it, but in reality it really is so difficult. Rest in peace, all those who have left this world.
