Resource The Complete Manual of Suicide

[WolfgangA]

I was doing some research and came across an article mentioning this book " The Complete Manual of Suicide ". More details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Complete_Manual_of_Suicide.Its not listed in the resources section of this site so I thought to post it. I did some digging but couldn't find any version of book online other than this https://archive.org/details/TheCompleteManualOfSuicideChinese/page/n1 which is in Chinese. The pdf version can be found here. English translated (google translated from archive.org) version here (note: the auto translation is a bit wonky).

Would appreciate it a lot if anyone's willing to translate the book to proper English.
(The archive.org Chinese version is the only source I've found, it would be nice if we can create a few mirrors.)

Wonky is an understatement, but wow! The Google translate version is crazy death poetry all on its own. I don't speak Chinese, so can't help one bit for comprehension. But this made my day all the same.

Beware, it's hard on the eyeballs.

Bumping this too will add to my suicide MEGA drive folder (link is in my bio) when I have the time later today

Ugh there's some heavy shit in there, self-burning. Also, according to the translation cockroaches are lethal
"When necessary, you can eat this cockroach and find death."

This book is a Chinese translation of the Japanese original published in 1993. Rather, it concerns hard methods. Overdose - describes drug combinations that are probably no longer available in trade even in Japan. The value of this handbook is rather collectible.

Drowning - mileage

What really happens to the human body when a person drowns? Choking with water first.
When you try to hold your breath, after immersion, your body's oxygen levels fall and your carbon dioxide concentration increases.
The body wants to defend itself against lack of oxygen, forces the breath to refuse. Water is swallowed.
A man balancing on its surface is choking, coughing, consuming a lot of oxygen.
The drowning man is not able to keep his head on the surface, the airways are getting more and more flooded.
There is a loss of consciousness. As a result of airway obstruction, brain hypoxia occurs.
sagging muscles. Blood absorbs water that floods the lungs. Blood pressure drops, which causes increasing hypoxia.
The action of the heart slows down.
- When there is a lack of oxygen in the blood, a drowning person dramatically wants to take a breath - Then he floods his lungs with water more and more.
Just 3 minutes of such hypoxia is enough to cause brain damage that is often irreversible.
Later there is only death - tissue hypoxia occurs, respiratory arrest, heart chambers flutter
a few to several minutes. They can quiver muscles and it's over. A drowning person dies.
