Thoughts about never found

[Norm]

I know I want to off it. But I don't want anyone to know and definitely don't want anyone to discover my body. This is an obsession of mine, and it is not cruel because I have no family and I am surrounded by people who would be happy see me dead.

Any thoughts about how to go about this? I don't want to be found. For people at work I would be "missing"... forever.. love that idea.. there will always be some doubt as to whether I am dead or partying on some other continent

Drop yourself in a lake in the middle of the woods with some weights attached to your legs. You prob won't be found for a while

 

[BurningLights]

Hmmm, I kinda like this idea. (Wouldn't do it myself but I get the appeal)

Couple of thoughts,
Dig your own grave and figure out a way to have it filled as you go? (Not very viable)
Or, find somewhere very secluded, somewhere where you wouldn't normally go, where no one would think of looking for you.
I would travel up the country, somewhere where I've never been or even mentioned.
Like @Undesirable said, you could find a lake somewhere very remote, (somewhere you've never mentioned) scope it out, see how public it is.
Just thinking off the top of my head here.

Could go to the beach. Swim out, find a rip current and just keep going out.

Its how australia lost one of its prime ministers. No body was ever found.

Not a good way to go though id imagine.

Tell everyone you're going on vacation, then go off into the woods in the middle of Alaska and CTB. By the time if anyone cares to find you, you'll have already been eaten by wild animals, and your bones are scattered all over the wilderness.

What about just moving far away from those toxic people instead of killing yourself?
If you insist on suicide, then it depends on your location. Are there any uninhabited paces near you like a huge forest, desert, or an ocean with a strong current? Just go there take SN or overdose on something and nature will do the rest.

Didn't think of the wild being able to hide your body, that's a really good idea. Beautiful place to do it as well.

Alaska is the place to do this

Alexander Supertramp style!

I was planning to fill my day pack with rocks (and my laptop), epoxy the buckles closed so that I couldn't flinch and remove it, walk on to the Bainbridge Island to Seattle ferry (free for walk-on passengers in that direction), and step overboard halfway across. It's over 600' deep right there, and even without the rocks I don't know how to swim, so I figured it was a pretty safe bet I'd be both successful and unfound.

In the end I realized what a headache that would cause. Not only would my family be left wondering, but having to negotiate the bureaucratic labyrinth of missing-declared-dead formalities would be a serious drag for them.

That said, if you have no family to worry about, it might be a good option.

I think, you do it in a other country without ID cards suffices.

Are there cc/security cameras on the ferries?

How could anyone "step overboard" without someone (onboard) seeing and raising the alarm to "save" the person?

 

[TiredHorse]

I don't know for certain whether there is cctv, but I doubt it. And I'm not sure it would matter. People do occasionally tumble overboard by accident (or to ctb?) --big fuss, stopped ferry, rescue boats, etc.-- so it isn't as if it's impossible to do it intentionally. If you don't mind it being public, walk up the the rail near the stern and hop over. If you want more privacy, there are open ports down on the car decks, or you could even go over the stern --there's only a webbing net as a guard rail and the crew don't hang around down there. Either way, if you have 30# of rocks in your day pack, it isn't like you'll be at the surface long enough to be rescued.

I also dont want to be found by any relatives.
I will go on "vacation" to a SEA country,go to a random forest in the middle of nowhere and hang myself there.

Dont forget to bury/destroy your ID cards etc. beforehand.

 

[ChickenAndPotatoes]

I would get ready to make attempts (I was living in my car at the time) and would end up burning all my important documents, burn checkbooks, birth certificate, etc and cut up all my ID cards inciuding my retiree ID (I was medically discharged from the Marines so they consider me temporarily retired due to disability). I was living in my car and had all my documents in the car. I was extremely paranoid while living in my car with schizoaffective disorder. I didn't want anyone knowing who I was and didn't want my docs getting stolen if someone broke into my car at some point as well. I went through this purging ritual at LEAST 2 times. Cut and burned every document I owned. My birth certificate, military documents like my DD-214, my checkbooks, my Social Security card, registration, everything and donated some of my clothes, shoes, and blankets. I was that paranoid about being identified. Maybe it was because my car was my home and I didn't want people knowing I lived in my car because I believed I could get in trouble. I definetly regret it now. But at the time it felt like a cleansing and identity erasure. I've got an apartment now and have calmed down a bit.

TL;DR
But my advise: they're going to identify you anyway by fingerprint or dental. Or maybe not if you haven't had any run ins with the law or been to the dentist, ever. One of the gifts of being dead is that you don't have to care about who finds out. But maybe drive to another city if that makes you feel better. Drive out to the middle of nowhere, even better. But keep your keys, IDs, wallet etc in a waterproof case nearby. The police would appreciate if your belongings were not covered in dead body smells and juices. So like a plastic toolbox near your body: inside the toolbox your keys, IDs, wallet, etc inside a ziplock bag. Or keep your wallet, IDs, etc in your car. If you go out to the country or middle of nowhere you have less to worry about having your things stolen off you while unconscious.

Ways of suicide and not be found
1. Burn Yourself (This is extremely painful, not recommended).
2. Jump into a Large Body of water like an ocean
3. Explosives (Don't know how you'll get your hands on them though)
4. Suicide in the woods (You'll either be found by animals or humans, but most likely your relatives won't know)

 

[stargazer]

I'm not fussed. Whenever someone comes along for the ride with me here, I'll be probably eventually found by neighbours or police/rescue, deceased in a car in a home garage. That's the plan...but it could be months unless nobody ever stops by the house, assuming if that's how me and a partner plan it.

OP here. Thanks so much for the replies. Finally found a place where I can think openly about this.

I think most of the comments are close to one of the ideas I had in mind. But implementing it is tough. I am opting for the ocean. Deep deep waters, the chances of being found if I drown somewhere where the ocean is 7000 feet deep, far off the coast, with weights attached to me (so I do not resurface) are smallest. Here is what I was thinking:

- Go to another country, poorer country, weaker law enforcement. That sits on the pacific or atlantic ocean.
- Get a small boat, I can spend all my money on that, since why not.
- Get a gun.
- Get weights to hang to my limbs.
- go far in the ocean, chose an area where the waters are very deep (google map tells me this).
-Stand on the edge of the boat, barely hanging, and shoot myself in the mouth. Make sure I am in a position where I would fall off the boat. (or hell get a gun that works under water, just because drowning is extremely painful and I don't want to spend my last minute wishing I didn't do this

Problem: I just can't fly incognito. You need passport and all credit card. So I will need to drive to another country or something (to make the task really impossible). I WILL ALSO NEED A FAKE ID. I will need a place to stay in preparation, so even if I pay in cash for a hotel, they will ask for an ID. How easy to get a fake ID?

I feel this is better than driving to alaska (which is a really nice idea) but my car will be traced down. And they will assume that I am dead, even if no body is found.

Death in Yellowstone: Accidents and Foolhardiness in the First National Park covers a number of people who presumably died in a national park and were never found.

Getting out to the sea with the appropriate weights and chains is a possibility.

The self-burial method would only work if you had tunneled into the side of a hill or the like, then found a way to collapse the earth on top of you. This might not be a fun way to go.
