Thats true, I found my buddy hanging this way with a tie though. might have been two ties... he survived. If it is like the poster who posted the video where the guy was sitting, that has to be murder, sitting doing it seems to hard, the impulse to stand to stop the experience would be too high IMHO. then again I can't picture committing suicide any another way than OD on heroin. easiest way to go. Just fall asleep. I found my Dad dead like this :( He wasn't and addict either :(

hmm interesting, I'll need to look into this more. Thanks for the info.

The door knob is a weird idea... Mostly for the fact the hollywood always portrays suicide by hanging by having the rope strung up to a rafter, and a stool being kicked out. Where did all these people get the idea to use a scarf (not a rope or a cable), and a door knob (not a banister, or rafter)?

... Dunno about you, but my rafters are covered up with drywall.

Did anyone else ever play a game called "doorknobs" when they were a kid? When a person farted, if it was obvious that they did it, someone would say the word "doorknob," and for whatever reason, everyone had authority to punch the farter until he touched a doorknob. I wonder what it is about doorknobs.
