**Forget Casks of Amontillado! Toilet paper - that’s the ticket!** **Dying alone - what safety measure are feasible?** Routine measures like having a fully charged cell-phone at all times, regular phone calls or texts to friends so they might notice if there’s radio silence - oh, and don’t hide in walls in women’s washrooms in a shopping mall. That should be on everyone’s “Don’t do it” list. All pretty common sense, really.
