Finding body, making intentions known or secret

[lylas]

What ideas do some of you have to prevent your body being found by family? I live alone but without hearing from me for a few days it is very likely family would be the first to find me. Ideas I have are:
- delayed message to police (this means the suicide is clearly intentional)
- inviting a more hardened friend over, or perhaps some service (plumber etc.), but I have to ensure they won't arrive before my family do (family often turn up at random).

I am thinking of using the shallow water blackout method in the bath and hoping that it looks like I fell asleep, but actually I have another dilema here, whether it is better for it to seem accidental or not? I feel there are some poeple in my life I would want to know the truth of what I have done, I don't know why I care about this but, I guess I see this as a kind of final self expression to some extent. I think if a close friend died I would want to know, I would want to know what they were thinking in those final moments and for them to be open with me, even if it was agony for me to hear.

I think it's more staight forward if you're ok with people knowing it was suicide. A delayed email seems wise. I think I would actually email my solicitor- asking them to inform the police. I can't actually find an email for my local police! I reckon I'd attach everything in attachments to my solicitor- my notes to loved ones etc. I've heard the police don't always pass them on. Plus- I've heard they scan emails for words like 'suicide'. Although- would they really do it before they send?

The whole accidental death, I've never been that convinced about. Like- wouldn't people always wonder whether it was a suicide anyway? I imagine they would perform an autopsy. Would you plan to take anything to help? Obviously- a delayed email is out in that case. I guess you could invite a friend over but somehow- prevent them from entering- lock the door or something. I don't know- I think it would be pretty traumatic for a friend really.

Plan is to hyperventilate to pass out in water.

I have a friend who I think could handle it very well, we have talked about things like this before. But it may hurt more than they admit to me..
