Chris Oh look, a blog that hasn't been updated in almost a month. When it comes to suicide, you've got a fairly standard list of methods to work with: firing a bullet into your head, consuming copious amounts of highly toxic drugs/chemicals, jumping in front or off of something, hanging your neck from something, slicing your wrist (vertically, of course), and drowning. Then you have the weird approaches to offing yourself, which is where I come in.
Sauvageau A, Yesovitch R Choking on toilet paper: an unusual case of suicide and a review of the literature on suicide by smothering, strangulation, and choking. Y'know when you get a bit of kleenex in your mouth and it dries out your cheek/tongue/gums and then gets stuck and feels really gross?
Lunetta P, Ohberg A, Sajantila A Suicide by intracerebellar ballpoint pen. I like how they didn't figure out the dude had a friggin' Bic stuck in his head until they cut him open at the autopsy.
Unusual self-electrocution simulating judicial electrocution by an adolescent. Might as well do it up right before you go out, just sticking a wire in a socket is kind of lame.
