Seams a lot of suicides around here are by bodies found in rivers or canals. How would this kill you unless you can't swim. I'm sure survival instinct would make you swim out.

I don't know - but I did hear of a gentleman in the early stages of Alzheimers who jumped in a canal in London and managed to CTB. Good for him! He didn't want to live with the disease and I think that is entirely understandable.

there have been a ton of stories where I live of people walking home drunk along the river, falling in and dying. probably different if you're expecting to jump in though.

People can die from "cold shock response" and can do so very quickly if they jump / fall into cold water. A sudden fall into cold water makes one gasp underwater and the aspiration of water leads to choking, panicking and sinking further, rendering frantic movements arms ineffective. People in this situation often die without ever surfacing. ETA a link to an article on the matter >

The people round here aren't drunk they have mental illness. I just can't see how its possible too die.
