plastic bag without gas

[regular john]

Hi guys

I heard about people who used plastic bag for suicide but gas was not mentioned . How do you die by only using plastic bag ?

You die of hypoxia. If you're not a toddler or a very frail adult, it's very unlikely to work. It might work if you're very drunk or knocked out on whatever sedative drug. But no sober adult is going to make it work.

Apparently it is not really recommended and is considered as painful...:

I tried once to do this and keep the bag for 1 min I think, lots of troubles with breath that becomes frequent... I tried to wait until passing out but it was terribly long, I ripped off the bag... I think it takes several minutes to pass out, very long....

Can't think of anything worse personally.
