Driver in grisly suicide A suicidal New Jersey man set a new standard for self-inflicted brutality when he decapitated himself by driving away from a light post with a rope tied around his neck. Wolfgang Persieck, 50, of Union Beach, died when the rope, which he had attached to the post, jerked his head off as he stepped on the gas Saturday night.

Well, I see that 2005 is already off to an interesting start for death. That's the record holder for strangest suicide that I've ever heard of. A person who lives in that area of NJ said that he actually used three ropes and had two of them tied off. How do people come up with these creative ways of offing themselves?

Maddox has a pretty good guide.

Really, we're all the creative sort deep down - if we were going out, don't you think we'd want to make a mark with our passing? Not literally, of course.

well, at least he made the news. Who said suicidal maniacs were just attention seeking freaks?

By the way, who's got HL2 and Garry's mod installed? (Take a guess why I'm asking. [grin])

My extensive HL2 based research has uncovered the properties of the human neck. Even after adding massive thrust to a bath tub, the neck can't be broken off. This brings me to the conclusion that this article is a fake.

God damn you! I don't bookmark Maddox for a reason. Whenever someone links there the neighbours phone the police because they think someones being hacked to death in my house ...for three hours.

Anyway... I just thaught i'd waste a bit of your time.

What does that picture have to do with this thread? I asked for a simulation of the suicide only; further applications of HL2+Garry's mod in this thread are meaningless. If you wouldn't mind moving your picture over to the thread for that mod, thanks...

Have you taken a walk over there to see? Any blood, glass, rope... human leftovers, etc.?

I have no idea why I'm asking this.

Noodle's Attempts at Suicide

"Attempts to cut throat with bar of soap". Maddox has nothing on this guy. [grin]

As to Mr 0wned-by-lamppost, he obviously did it to get (or get back at) chicks. I mean, why else would you off yourself so graphically?

If I were to ever deliberately, ah, 'depart', I'd buy or steal a lear jet, set cruise control for the south pole, and jump out somewhere over the ocean at 51,000 feet. IIRC at that altitude you freeze to death before hitting the ground. So there you go, if my lear jet and I ever disappear, this post will be the only clue as to where I went. :)
