Another one...
A french man tried to commit a complex suicide. He was out on his boat one day and tied a rope around his neck so when he jumped off the side of the boat he would hang himself, he tied a rock to his feet so it the rope to hang himself with broke, he would sink to the bottom of the sea, he drank poison, set his clothes on fire, and had a gun to shoot himself with when he jumped. He jumped off the side of the boat and went to shoot himself in the head, but he missed and broke the rope that was supposed to hang him. Then when he fell in the water, it extinguished the flames, and the shock of the water being so cold made him throw up all the poison. The coast gaurd hapened to be passing by, and they dove down to get him before he drowned, pulled him up, and took him to a local hospital where he live for 2 weeks before dying of hypothermia.
