Suicide by gun isn’t the kind of thing you’d want to botch. Suicide by jumping off a bridge is too sudden, too dramatic. Suicide by hanging gives your neck rope burns and forces your eyes to bulge out. Suicide by poisoning is just passive enough to work, but leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. Suicide by wrist-slitting is so messy. Suicide by drowning in a kiddie pool of chocolate is just too louche. Suicide by pills is such a cliche, as everyone from down-on-their-luck junkies to quietly desperate housewives do it. But suicide by hiding in a make-shift treehouse deep in the forest and starving yourself to death – that’s going out on your own terms and making headlines around the world.
