Discussion Most unusual less common suicide methods

What are some bizarre lessons common suicide methods that you have heard of

School/Colledge Massacre then death by cop,climbing onto a train top and standing up as it approaches a low bridge,sleeping on train tracks and jumping off a bridge with a 20 foot noose around the neck for decapitation is a few I've came across in my research of ways to go

Death by cop and hanging aren't uncommon.

Death by cop and hanging aren't uncommon.

What they mentioned was decapitation, not hanging. Even if it were hanging, it's the circumstances surrounding the act that's unusual.
And death by cop as a plan of suicide is rather uncommon, I think (?) Correct me if I'm wrong. But even if it's common, the school massacre is also an unusual circumstance.

Depends how you define uncommon. But I think the OP was thinking of truly bizarre methods, like drinking deuterium oxide, i.e. heavy water.

Ah, okay. I see your point.

wait just wondering is there actually a way to buy enough d2o to ctb? because i was looking into it but i could only find stupidly small amounts like 1ml bottles, surely you'd need like a couple litres to ctb

Doubtful, people have done experiments with small amounts and were fine. It used to be thought that making a cup of tea with it would be lethal, but that's not the case. I never studied chemistry at a high level though, so I don't know what the LD99 would be, but even a fraction would be stupidly expensive, if you could even get that much. You would be a pioneer of a method if you succeeded though.

I wonder what would be easier deuterium oxide or tritium oxide, I'd imagine the latter would be considerably more lethal, but it's ultra rare.

I like the idea of this thread, might do better in off topic, anyone got any more bizarre methods?

 

[Intoxicated]

I guess, this is a pretty rarely used method

My great uncle drank battery acid. He is the only person I've heard of that ctb this way
