I'd also suspect that a possible misinterpretation as murder generally isn't a very high priority for suicidal people. At least I haven't ever heard about this sentiment reported anywhere (though I am not involved in suicide research whatsoever and only citing memories from documentaries and similar). permalink fedilink source parent
