So, here's a story as I just heard it from Paul Harvey: This guy is DETERMINED to commit suicide and wishes to leave nothing to chance. So he goes to the top of this cliff and ties a rope around his neck and fastens the rope to a tree. He drinks poison. He sets fire to himself. He puts a gun to his head and steps off the cliff. The gun slips and he only grazes his head, but the bullet frays the rope. The rope breaks (instead of his neck) and he falls into the water which puts out the fire. The icy cold water causes him to upchuck the poison. He's alive and floundering when a neighbor rescues him and take him to the hospital. Where he dies of hypothermia.
