Having a friend attempt suicide by jumping (and survive after since emergency services got there in time) in the last month I read a book on tips to help the suicidal.

It was stressed again and again to remove access from firearms from them. A gun at home is far, far easier a means to a death known to be guaranteed and painless than the stereotypical means of suicide like jumping from a public structure or overdose---and to the temporarily distorted mind to which suicide is the wrong choice, this ease of execution of a suicide method that is so final and painless is material.

For how unlucky my suffering friend is, at least they did not have access to a gun.

Yikes. Suicide by gun isn't guaranteed, at all. You would think it would be, but that's not the case. Last second flinch and now you're a stoic veggie from here on out.

Suicide bags. Those are the way to go for a painless death with better odds of success.
