What a sad story about someone who failed his hanging attempt

[Terrible_Life_99]

When I read this it really scared me because what if everything is planned but just one little component gets wrong and we who also might wanna ctb by hanging will get interrupted too soon. The poor guy who had to suffer all that and everyone else who failed their hanging attempts….
I actually like the method hanging because everyone can buy a rope and learn everything but the big damn contra is we don't die instantly by full hanging and that makes it so damn risky.

Jack Barnes was left in a vegetative state for two years after his suicide attempt until he died this year. While he was alive, and since his death, vile trolls have targeted his mother, Helen

The fact he would blink yes when she asked him if he still wanted to die with no way for him to do anything about... horrifying. I hate that they forced him to live that long without his consent. It sucks that we need to take so many precautions to avoid scenarios like this.

It's hard to read.

The only reason I'm still here is the fear of ending up the same way. The thought of people keeping me alive in a vegetative state is truly terrifying. I don't even want to imagine what he went through.

I think the problem here was someone found him and cut him loose
most methods have a tiny chance of surviving in a horrible state

That is so horrific, it's horrifying to me how trying to cease existing can go wrong and lead to way worse suffering, pain and torture in this existence where there is no limit as to how much agony one can feel, the fact that there isn't the option to be euthanised to escape from the dreadful, torturous abomination of existence is criminal to me, it truly is the mos horrific prison like anti-suicide world where humans are forced to suffer against their wishes like that.

Hanging is worldwide the most common suicide method because it's pretty simple and deadly. This incident is very sad but also very rare.

Ten minutes, apparently. Hanging in a public place will always carry the risk of a good samaritan passing by or authorities alerted.

Very sad story. Two years in that state, thinking, breathing.

Sad story. However, he eventually died, so hanging did work after all. Two years was definitely too long and could have been avoided, but still.

This is consistent with what research says. People usually either die or make a good recovery after a failed hanging attempt. The person in the article died.

Research also says that the main causes of death if a person survives the initial attempt are various lung disorders. This is what the article likely refers to when it says "But he kept getting infection after infection." Eventually it was a severe infection that caused his death as well.

Using an open, non-private area exposed to other people was his mistake. In addition to his suspicious behavior when leaving the house, which alerted his family.

Having at least 30 minutes without being interrupted or rescued will result in certain death with no possibility of salvation.

Another important thing is that your rope and anchor points are strong and can support your body the entire time you are suspended (that none of them break). And the correct position of the ligature to lose consciousness quickly. That's all.

It's not the method's fault but the person's.

Suicide is not a game; you always have to consider all possibilities and not take risks. If any of the above points are not possible to accomplish, then don't do it.

Luckily he is now resting in peace. Ugh, what a selfish family to keep him in such a deplorable condition for those few years.
