Method Any ideas for methods that seem natural/an accident?

[crystalziline]

I've seen a couple of threads on this but just curious whether anyone has ideas on how to make ctb look like a 'natural' cause or accident? I'm just thinking about what will be easiest for my family to accept. Bit of a silly question, I know, but the thought of my family having to discover my body, potentially hanging, makes it hard for me to go through with.

(Hopefully this post is allowed, I checked the terms just in case)

There's no real way to truly cover up suicide as natural death, circumstances will always be looked into surrounding it especially since it would be sudden which leaves very little reason to suspect or conclude otherwise other than suicide.

There is car / motorcycle 'accident'. One idea I was toying with was if you live in a place where there's lots of snow you could drive into a remote area, get your car stuck, with the exhaust backed into snow + plugging the exhaust with snow and sitting in the car and die of carbon monoxide poisoning.

But yeah there's not really any good way to do this

Often in the news there are cases of people going missing and being found dead. This happens while they're doing activities such as hiking in mountainous remote regions, walking near bodies of water in bad conditions/storms, watersports/wild swimming in dangerous areas. Usually these people are beginners/amateurs and underprepared for the conditions they encounter. It seems unlikely that trying to go out on purpose to die of exposure/hypothermia/drowning or a combination of those would be at all likely to succeed as a method. However if you really want it to look like an accident that's the kind of thing I would go for. The worst that could happen is you get scared and call emergency services for help.

I was reading this the other day trying to get ideas.

I also would like to avoid having the stigma of suicide associated with my family. In general, put yourself in situations that increase the risk of accidents.

You're right, just wishful thinking on my part I think, like you could be somewhere high up and fake falling by accident? No, scratch that, I doubt many would think that's an accident

Precisely, the nature around it would be thoroughly investigated as established patterns would be likely be looked at first before ruling it as an accident or suicide.

Well, I sure wouldn't want my death ending up on wikipedia, so selfie-induced suicide not on my agenda

sadly there's no snow near me but this seems like a creative idea (not sure if creative is an appropriate word), wouldn't there usually need to be a tube that feeds carbon monoxide from the exhaust back into the car though if it's not in an enclosed space? Or is that old school?

Hmmmmmm good point, though I'm not really a hiking type person, you're right this could be more likely to be seen as an accident, though having to beat survival instinct on this one (if there really was a flash flood or actively trying to freeze to death etc.) would be severely panic inducing I imagine

It's just an idea that floated in my head. I figured the exhaust gas would go into the cabin if you recirculate the air with your vent system. But again, with modern cars and all that I'm not sure of the viability. I'd first consult e.g. chatgpt to research if that CO even would go back in the cabin (dont mention suicide obviously) and then I'd read about the specific car model available to me etc. But I long ago stopped looking into suicide that look like accidents because I want a peaceful method above all else, and I'd rely on signs / delayed emails to police etc. to make sure I wasn't found by my family first.

Oh man, if I could do this without SI kicking in and ending up on a Wiki page, that could work. Hmmm…I just don't want them blaming themselves either because it's not their fault. Why does it have to be so culturally frowned upon to choose when to catch the bus

You dont actually have to take a selfie hahaha its an interesting list that invludes the types and descriptions of the accidents

Hahaha oh my gosh. Duh (@ myself). Thank you for sharing

Oh of course, recirculating air. I would like a peaceful method too. Sooner rather than later I think. Delayed communications to other people first sounds like the way to go so that family don't have to witness it.

i can only think of crashing your car, but i advise against this bc you'll endanger others and if you survive all your bones will be broken and you'll be a vegetable.

Like going out and talking on your cell phone when you're in a mountain hut at 3,500 meters during a thunderstorm? Countless people have died from electrocution like this. Or accidentally falling into a moulin at Mendenhall Glacier (Juneau, Alaska), one of the most treacherous in the world. The moulins here are narrow, slippery, and up to 300 meters deep. The interior is smooth as glass, and once you fall, the body is dragged by currents of icy water to the base of the glacier. No one could even extract the body; not even the most experienced mountaineer would be saved here. In reality, there are many ways to disappear, leave no trace, or make it look like an accident.
