Double suicides

[fightclub17]

I'm not sure what all the legalese are. Ido know it's a sticky situation if one or both survives.

I appreciate your answers, it's a difficult question.

Are there any downsides to double suicides? Legally?

You can't really face legal repercussions if you're dead.

Maybe if one of you mistakenly survives they might question you to rule out things like coercion

Is a 'suicide pact' considered aiding/abetting? I'm sorry for all the questions. There's so many pacts going around on here and genuinely want to know.

if one of you survives and a suicide pact was made, I don't think you'll legally be held liable unless there's evidence of coercion, like I said in my last comment.
I don't think it would be considered any sort of aid or abetting by default, there would have to be some kind of evidence that there was an advantageous power dynamic in place.

This is a guess. I have never survived a double suicide attempt lmao.

Obviously I'm asking in the instance one or both survives.

There was a story here about two people who decided to ctb together via SN. But they made the mistake of staggering the time. One partner was ahead by 20 minutes, so by the time she drank her SN and her body went through the motions, and while the other partner was conforting them, they eventually freaked out and ran out of the hotel room.

I have so many questions regarding this - wouldn't the police go through the deceased's phone and see messages between them? Wouldn't there be finger prints they can find? Wouldn't the other be charged for having the knowledge they wanted to end their life and participate in being present and comforting them? Isn't that considered 'aiding' suicide?

Asking for a friend lol.
