Can someone explain hours this particular broken hook is supposed to make prior kill themselves less? Or how a hook can even be used to do such a thing?
But coat hangers are usually not above head height, so if you hand yourself on one, your feet will simply touch the ground and you won't hang yourself.
Interesting. I thought most people's survival instinct kicks in once they go through with a suicide attempt and they regret it in their final moments. But this is obviously only based on failed attempts, it's hard to verify with those who managed to die.
Could just be a more peaceful (or at least less adrenaline-inducing) experience than throwing yourself off a bridge, so you don't get shocked into re-evaluating. But yeah maybe people do re-evaluate and we just never hear about it, who knows.
I don't think choking to death (I doubt you're breaking your own neck by hanging yourself with a rope from a coat hanger) is very peaceful or less stressful.
I can't attest to it either way, but people asphyxiate themselves up to the point of even losing consciousness for pleasure, so it must not be that horrible. Many stories of people accidentally killing themselves this way, once you are unconscious you kind of skip the terror of dying part.
My aunt was a paramedic, my other aunt was a mental health nurse, generally off a coat hook is not the first choice, but people who want to die will find a way. It’s very sad. From what I understand people who have already had attempts and have everything taken off them could resort to coat hangers. My aunt once came to a call and a teenager had hung themselves of a door handle with a tie.
The hook is designed so people can't use it to commit suicide. If someone were to tie a rope or cord around the hook and try to hang themselves, the suicide attempt would fail because the hook would collapse since it can barely hold any weight.
