Suicide in a car is a “popular” way of doing this because there is less cleaning afterwards. Crime scene cleaning of a room costs like $20k. Bodily fluids go everywhere.


Also less traumatic for your loved ones to replace a car than have to move houses because they can't get the image out of their mind.


I thought this happened in front of a hotel?


In his car in front of the hotel.


Is cleaning a car less expensive? I feel like it would be harder, just considering that it's a cramped space that seems difficult to scrub and full of stuff that is not easily washable.


I imagine you just scrap the (assuming reasonably priced) car, who would want to use it afterwards?


You can sell it. Or auction it. You never know who will buy it.


I feel like most people would rather just scrap it if they can afford to. Even if someone else were willing to pay a large sum of money for the car, I'd be too weirded out to go sell it.


That's exactly what would make item special for some.


Thanks


That doesn't make sense, what if car cost 50k (or more), do you think anybody would ever want to drive in it? Family traumatized by just looking at it, heck any similar car, ever ?

Low cost would be ie in your backyard, jump from the bridge (with added 3s thrill), OD on opiates or some poison you don't feel or similar. Or go fight russians if you really stand up for western values, that may actually cure the need if you make it through.


> do you think anybody would ever want to drive in it?

You can sell the car and the new owner might not know about it (or care if the price is good enough).

Car offers a certain level of privacy in your last moments while being considerate to the family by not doing it in your home.

Those are suicide fantasies of people without depression / under extreme pressure.
