TW: suicide???
Am I missing something here? How does someone hogtie themselves and then hang themselves? How is this being considered a suicide? Am I on crazy pills?
It's the same sense that Epstein "committed suicide."
A lot of people seem to "commit suicide" who were inconvenient to this Admin
It's not uncommon in Russia for people to commit suicide with a couple gunshots to the head, and then jumping out the window.
Could you link me up with any such case?
hunting accident
Thankfully Dick Cheney can no longer enter the chat.
Consistently happens to my 6/6/6 heirs... right after comet sighted.
Seems like everyone is playing along with the claim of suicide while trying to get the details from DHS/GeoGroup.
That's how it's done in the United Soviet States of America.
Easy on the "United".
Exactly what i came to say. How is that even possible?
We are all on crazy pills on this glorious day.
People kill themselves under impossible circumstances in Russia all the time.
Who are you to think it couldn't happen in the US?
I literally just copied the same exact passage intending to ask the same question here. I'm not understanding how this is feasible.
This is absolutely tragic, regardless of the answer. But... how is this even possible?
I imagine there are legal issues with reporting anything other than the official cause of death that Newsweek don't want to get into so they just laid everything out nice and factually so that readers can come to their own conclusion...
Ever heard of Occam's razor?
Yes. I've also heard of Hanlons razor. Just because a philosophical concept exists doesn't mean it's universally applicable.
What about Gillette's razor?
Smooooth...
I used to apply it to everything, then I found out about safety's razor
Oh I know, wasn’t this on Sherlock Holmes? They stood on a giant block of ice. When the ice melted, they were fatally hanged and the evidence disappeared
Hush. Stop asking questions.
Put your head in the noose, tie your feet, tie your hands, probably using your mouth to pull the knot, and then do the drop. The reason for this would be to beat survival instinct.
Are there cases of suicide where this has happened outside of law enforcement custody?
It seems you need 3-5 feral hogs to help with some of the steps
Yes, but it describes it as hog tied, which is your feet ti d to your hands behind your back. I don't think I could hog tie myself, let alone hang myself after.
I’ve got ehlers-danlos and I am experienced with self bondage. Tying my own hands behind my back is not easy for me, let alone the average person.
How do you tie your hands behind your back with your mouth? Especially when your neck is in a noose?
By using a slipknot. Ultimately it depends on the knots used and the order they were tied in, but it's technically possible.
Is it probable or likely? Absolutely not.
