My Favorite Suicides

I'm not advocating suicide. Why do I even have to say that? Think twice would ya! Fuck.

Candy Darling didn't commit suicide but she had a note that was pretty good in regards to her death. She wrote "Unfortunately before my death I had no desire left for life . . . I am just so bored by everything. You might say bored to death. (D)id you know I couldn't last. I always knew it. I wish I could meet you all again."


Philip Gale was a MIT student that was very gifted. He went to MIT at 15 and went to a private Scientology school before that. Shortly after joining The Church of the SubGenius he jumped out of The Green Building at MIT. He wrote Isaac Newton's equation for how an object accelerates and falls, on the chalk board in the class room he was in, then he threw a chair out the window. He then jumped through that window.


Elliott Smith stabbed himself in the heart with a knife.


Dead of the band Mayhem slit his wrists and shot himself in the head with a shot gun. It ended up being the cover of a Mayhem album. His suicide note read "Excuse all the blood" as well as an apology for the gunshot being too loud.


George Eastman shot himself in the heart and left a note that said "My work is done. Why wait?"


Capucine jumped from her eighth floor apartment in 1990.


Andrea "Whips" Feldman died after she invited several ex-boyfriends to her apartment where she jumped from the fourteenth floor. She had a bible in one hand and a crucifix in the other.


Freddie Herko died after jumping out his apartment that was on the fifth floor. He took a bath and then danced naked to Mozart's Coronation Mass, then simply danced out the window.


Dalida overdosed on barbiturates and left a note saying "Life has become unbearable for me... Forgive me."


Virginia Woolf put on an overcoat, filled the pockets with stones, and then walked into River Ouse which was near her home. She was found 21 days later.


Jean Seberg went missing and was found eleven days later in her car near her apartment. She had overdosed on barbiturates and alcohol. Her suicide letter read "Forgive me. I can no longer live with my nerves."


Wendy O. Williams tried to commit suicide the first time by hammering a knife into her chest in 1993. The knife lodged in her sternum, and so she decided to go to the hospital. The second attempt was in 1997 when she overdosed on ephedrine. Her final attempt was successful when she wandered into a wooded area near her home and shot herself in the head. Her suicide letter said " I don't believe that people should take their own lives without deep and thoughtful reflection over a considerable period of time. I do believe strongly, however, that the right to do so is one of the most fundamental rights that anyone in a free society should have. For me, much of the world makes no sense, but my feelings about what I am doing ring loud and clear to an inner ear and a place where there is no self, only calm."


Hunter S. Thompson died by gunshot wound to the head. His suicide letter read "No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun — for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax — This won't hurt."
