I’m sure some people are tempted to view this site as a bunch of whiners talking about suicide but never doing anything. Or as my own idiot therapist said: “Why talk about it? If you’re going to do it, then do it.”
But the truth is that many SP users have actually gone ahead and done it. They post here as a last stop before the unknown, and then they cross over. So no, we’re not just a bunch of lookie-lous.
I was wondering if anyone had been keeping a list of confirmed, or very likely, suicides of SP users. Maybe it would be nice to have a section or at least a thread for our honored graduates. I know I get a sense of peace knowing that there are a rare few who have succeeded where I have, so far, failed.

I give out my email to many, in a desperate attempt to keep them from crossing over to early in their life. One lady emailed me after she had already OD’d late one night. Her name was Becky Weir. We emailed back and forth for several hours until I never got a response back…
I suppose, given the length of time this site has existed, then some may have succeeded, but then a lot may have been dissuaded and even helped who would have done it had this site not been set up.
Although I never communicated with him (I joined afterwards), I think it was confirmed that one SP member was Matthew Warren son of a famous evangelist. He managed to buy an illegal gun on the internet and put it to use.
I definitely would want my identity known but only after I’m dead. I guess I could set up one of those delayed posts like a few people have done here.
LetMeSleep died last April (shot himself), Kira killed herself in December 2012 (hanging), Mike77 killed himself through the ******** hood method in November 2012. All of these deaths have been confirmed. Quad-Dingle likely killed himself in 2012 by setting himself on fire and shooting himself (he posted about doing so multiple times and suddenly when he stopped posting there was a news article from his location that was about a guy that set himself on fire and shot himself)
Thanks stendarr. It gives me hope to think we aren’t all slaves to the torture of life, the tyranny of self-preservation. Those brave souls are free.
I shall rejoice in death – soon to come. Death is smiling its luring, oh so ever tempting smile. Come to me and alas, you shall be free.
also David455 just killed himself last week
