In past couple days another member shared a video of a girl who survived a gunshot to head suicide. Just thought to add on to that, to further spread awareness

Here is a HORRIBLE case of a man who had a failed shotgun to head suicide. Warning - it is pretty graphic video

LINK: https://watchpeopledie.tv/post/36/steaming-after-a-failed-suicide

I believe both of them made a mistake by aiming it from under the chin. For those considering similar methods, make sure to do proper research. Last thing you want is to even make your life 100 times worst in a blink of an eye, when CTB was suppose to be the way out of your current problems

Here is the News link to this story as well: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/worldnews/15200321/man-blows-off-jaw-nose-shotgun-trying-kill-himself/

This frustrates me that assisted suicide is not more available to those suffering, so poor people like them need to resort to these solutions

I haven't and almost certainly won't watch the video, but I agree that it's terrible that people have to resort to these kinds of violent and risky methods.

I've done a quick search of the Internet but can't find what I'm looking for: there used to be a blogger, a neurosurgeon I believe, who had made a couple of posts about how to properly shoot yourself. I can't remember whether or not he gave serious answers, but I certainly remember he seemed to have a good sense of humour. He was tired of operating on people who had survived the initial gun shot wound but ended up with life-altering, devastating consequences ; many of whom went on to ctb anyway. I can see how that would be exhausting.

I'll try to find and link his blog if I can.

"I believe both of them made a mistake by aiming it from under the chin"

That is the most common way that people so tragically fail, especially with a shotgun which should be foolproof if properly used.

I won't watch the videos.

I wonder if there is any violation of the Hippocrtic Oath in him doing this.

Any updates? I'm keen to check this out- it's not my chosen method, but it sounds like an interesting read

Search James Vance and Judas Priest together. That one happened in the 1980s. He survived, and it ain't pretty.

And as far the image you posted, it's correct as long as its a shotgun or at a 40 caliber hollow point. I've also seen people survive aiming the correct, but using full metal rounds that went right through their head.

I decided to watch the video and I don't know if it's worse or not as bad as I expected. On one hand, it was gorier than I imagined it'd be, but on the other hand, the injury was so bad that it doesn't even feel real.

I feel so sorry for them. Failing a ctb attempt is already bad enough, but having it result in such severe physical trauma and having a video of the aftermath being posted online (that being on the off chance he didn't consent to it) must be terrible. I hope he was able to try again and pass away peacefully or, if he decided that he wants to keep on living, is able to get a face transplant and live a good life.

If I understand the quick guide correctly, it is not a question of putting the gun in the mouth but of finding the right angle for the shot.
Or am I wrong?

Its just insane even at this point, people would still try to keep him alive. Like god damn it, if a dog or cat was suffering, humans would just inject a quick shot and put it to sleep forever so it could be at peace

But for some reason, this guy is obviously suffering a 1000 times worst than an average dog / cat situation, but still would try to "rescue" him. What type of happiness or purpose in life did these "rescuers" really expect to still be possible for him after this point??

It is nothing but pure torture to still try to keep him alive. The only logical step is to inject a shot and put him to sleep forever

Yeah, pro-lifers love to "save" others, even when they are clearly suffering.

You know, this whole situation could have been avoided if our society wasn't so against allowing people the right to die on their own terms. Now, thanks to them, there are a whole bunch of cases of people who have had their lives become even worse just because they can't access safe and reliable ctb methods and instead have to use riskier methods that can easily go wrong, like with the case of this poor man.

That's not saving anymore it's just horrible, literally keeping one alive to keep suffering, and he's not even the only one.
Whoever decides to ctb through firearms, really do succeed and don't make it worse please.

Actually I believe the best way to do it is with the muzzle in your mouth! Here's a really good anatomical diagram that at the very least shows where the "happy spot" is. I would recommend reading the firearms thread in the resource compilation thread on SaSu, but I'll just sum up that I believe you're supposed to tilt upwards approximately 30 degrees because then it'll travel through the Medulla Oblongata aka the brainstem, causing near-instantaneous death.

GettyImages-1092334754-fd0644493b3148288970e38fd26aead0.jpg

You can see the medulla labeled in this diagram, so you can kind of estimate where exactly you should be aiming. Please be careful about what information you take! I would take mine with a grain of salt as I'm not entirely sure, but I believe I've read before on SaSu that the desired angle is 30 degrees, and the firearms thread talks about the medulla oblongata being your desired target.

Here's another source https://lostallhope.com/suicide-methods/firearms which describes other different aiming methods. Definitely do some research into this!!

I understand this is a suicide forum, however also want to add I don't want to encourage anyone to suicide / harm themselves for the wrong reasons. But here is a video of how to do it correctly:

VIDEO:

Once again, feels a bit awkward to share it. Not sure how to explain it, but somewhat of a guilty feeling. But since we're on this topic, and its a public video / information anyways, so theres the video

Sucks life has brought us all to this point. Hope we will all eventually find our way and light in this complicated world

Budd Dwyer isn't a great example tbh. He was successful, but probably mostly because of how powerful the gun was and some luck too.

You don't really want to be in a panicked and rushed state when doing something like this. You need to be calm with no external distractions. It's unlikely that Dwyer got a direct hit on the brainstem, but likely still did enough damage to succeed. The same is true of the Ronnie mcnutt video, he got a bit lucky (thankfully) but I would not be recommending anyone to follow their methods, because there were flaws in what they did.

I see. Yeah. please don't listen to me at all on this. I know nothing about gun method in the end. I'm mainly just sharing some internet videos I came across. Please do your own thorough research

Wpd is a terrible website full of terrible people. Dont concern yourself with those fuckers. It's really not worth it. All those people on wpd are retarded and deraged motherfuckers who either are actual psychopaths or 15 year olds who think watching gore will make them cooler.
