> [@Monty](#): > > [And now we have a body count](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/republican-donor-kills-himself-talking-021051687.html). Ooooh. Can we please spin this into a Vince Foster style, never ending conspiracy? What did Peter Smith know about Trump and the Russians? And, who commits suicide by “asphyxiation due to displacement of oxygen in confined space with helium”? I’ve certainly never heard of anyone doing that. And he left a note saying there was “NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER”? That’s just the kind of thing professional killers would do to make you _think_ it was a suicide! More seriously, committing suicide by replacing the oxygen in a confined space with helium is something I’ve never heard of people doing. Is it common? Would you get one of those big helium tanks they use to inflate balloons, put a wet towel at the bottom of the closet door, and open the tank? I guess that would be fairly clean as far as suicides go. ---

Well then, I’d be remiss if I passed up this rare opportunity to cordially invite you to eat an Everest of shit, and express how pleased I’ll be when you’re finally banned\* back to whatever pustulous dittohead cloaca you were expelled from, assuming (with high confidence) you don’t first stumble upon a life of your own that doesn’t involve skulking here solely to sneer and dissemble and play an endless game of Whatabout Pat-a-cake with everyone new, naïve or foolishly optimistic enough to believe you’re worth engaging with on any level. - “Again,” I strongly suspect. ---

Apparently it’s often done with a “suicide bag” where you put a plastic bag over your head and put an inert gas in it to avoid the feelings of panic and suffocation. I also just learned that if you google that, one of the first hits is a site providing advice and instructions on suicide methods. ☹ ---
