How did Robin Williams hang himself with a belt?

[kuroshimi]

It surprisingly easy if done right. When I tried it myself, I started to lose consciousness pretty quickly. But yeah, at the same time it can be hard to get it right.

As mentioned, overthinking can indeed make things harder.

 

[hurb]

It seems so easy. I got an actual rope and a high anchor point and I couldn't do it, partial or full. I don't understand how these celebrities keep partial hanging themselves. Every time I try it's painful and terrifying.

Drugs. I mean the less sober u r the easier

Drugs. I mean the less sober u r the easier

Yeah, I read about a lot of drunk hangings. I really don't have the stomach for some kind of desperate emotional fit. I'm bedridden with depression. I can't imagine summoning the excited state for violence against myself, intoxicated or not. Cowardice and laziness have consumed me.

 

[l1ablemistakes]

............

is there a practical way to make sure you can't untie the knot?

Full suspension. Sorry.

Drugs. I mean the less sober u r the easier

I'm 22 for ref

Can't you just change your profile? It shouldn't be hard, just gonna look it up. I do have an anchor point, I'm thinking about doing partial hanging through a door anchor, just gonna put the door anchor through a door and gonna attach the rope into it.

I'll try. I thought anyone could Dm me bc I've been speaking to a few people.

Just amazed how some people manage to successfully ctb while I've survived something I shouldn't have and am studying sasu like my life depends on it (well death in this case).

I feel a perverse kind of envy for these people. Like, "I hate you for succeeding." Every time I hear of someone successfully c-ing tb, I'm just filled with envy.

I read chester benningtons autopsy. Said he partial suspension hung himself from a door with a Gucci belt. It said his feet were on the floor and he was leaning forward slightly. Very small amount of alcohol in his system. Not enough to be drunk or anything. His death was a tragedy but like you said I'm also very respectful and impressed by his courage

Waa he kneeling or standing?

how old are you?

It's common for those who were close to succeeding with partial to say that it's simple, but for those like myself that have not been able to get it to work: The story is entirely different.

I have 30+ attempts under my belt with this method. Yes, over 30. I have tried every position imaginable. Kneeling, sitting, standing even lying down. I have padded my neck with socks, scarfs and anything a like. I always go full force with the intent to die. The rope has been positioned on EVERY section of my neck. I have tried unorthodox suggestions like massaging my neck beforehand to loosen the muscles and tension…

What do I have to show for it? When I'm LUCKY I'm able to replicate being lightheaded. And then on the other end of the spectrum we have people dying on a whim using bubblegum and toilet paper to hang. It just varies for everyone is my point. And I wish I knew why.

An 8 story fall should've been fatal

not trying to pee in your pocket, and maybe you are tired of hearing this, but your story is so freaking sad. i am so sorry that it turned out this way for you. do you know if you landed feet first. i assume head first, or totally horizontal would do it without a doubt (even from lower heights), but that is irrelevant anyway. sadly, the only relevant thing is how you are at present, and for that i just wish you could just hit rewind and stop yourself from going ahead with it



as far as hanging goes, it pretty much will work, no matter what way you choose. with partial, a person might need to have a couple of attempts at adjusting the rope and themselves, to be successful, but if the rope or anchor point doesn't break, it will work. the problem is that it can and sometimes does lead to severe discomfort until the person has lost consciousness

I stepped off and my SI kicked in and grabbed the balcony to pull myself up but slipped and fell. So my leg, elbow and ribs copped most of the force. I wake up everyday to what feels like a nightmare, how I wish I could rewind time.

There could be physiological differences between people that influence this.

30+ attempts? Whattt? Were they all partial suspension?

 

[user4567]

30+ attempts? Whattt? Were they all partial suspension?

Yes they were. It almost became part of my routine at this point with me confident I couldn't possibly fail again lol.

I'm just commenting my experience though because I want commenters and lurkers to understand that partial CAN be easy. But it's more of a case by case basis than a general rule.
