    I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but Awakenings/Sacks was my favorite all time RW role.

    One of my favorite films. Props

    apologies; just got an alert from AP so posted that

    I thought asphyxiation could happen many ways.

    I had a bi-polar friend a few years before who committed suicide by inhaling helium and covering his head with a plastic bag (i.e. asphyxiation)

    didn't know hanging was mentioned

    It's a true testament to how great of an actor he was when he could hold his own (or perform better) alongside greats like Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman (Hook).

    that's insane, I don't even see how that is possible. Like trying to drown yourself.

    There's a group of people who help elderly suffering people commit suicide if they are in great pain. They help those older sick people by giving them a how to suicide kit.

    The main tool is a party tank of helium.

    Makes sense. CO2 is what makes you want to exhale so helium wouldn't give you the burning sensation.

    Are you insinuating he pulled a Hutchense? Also known as the Carradine?

    damn... never imagined it would have been by hanging...

    i always thought of hanging as an outdated suicide technique now with pills, guns etc.

    i think it's certainly a possibility. was my thoughts last night too. didn't want to feel the wrath of the CF mob by suggesting it though.

    "The actor was partially clothed and suspended from a belt that was wedged between a closet door and the door frame."
