Woman Attempts Suicide At Comic Con

[Jazz]

A rigging crew rushed to the rescue of a woman who attempted to commit suicide at this year’s San Diego Comic Con event.


The suicide attempt was thought to be a stunt at first, but when con goers realized this was someone about to take their life they began to scream ‘Don’t do it!’.


The woman stepped over the railing on the 14th floor balcony of her hotel, distraught over a recent break up and intoxicated. On the floor below hers, a man kept talking to her, in attempt to stop her from jumping. Amos Carver, one of the stuntmen, recalled: “She just kept saying, ‘I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry,’ over and over again.’”

She was grabbed from behind and pulled off the ledge.

Thoughts?

Why do people even do this? and so public too?

I get how people can get to being like this, but really? At a public event?

I would feel sorry for her but I don't...

Imagine how all them people would of been feeling...

I don't think anyone should really openly judge anyone who tries to commit suicide based on location. Some people have jumped in front of trains, off bridges etc. which are incredibly public places, and I know no-one wants to go out and see someone commit suicide on a daily basis - but some people just feel at total loss of their life wherever they are and I don't think it's selfish to do it cause you have to imagine what the woman was going through and gtwrgdfsehgdfxsx

basically im glad someone saved her tbh

That could scar people for life... I don't care how depressed someone is, I don't agree with suicide in any form.

If a person attempts it, I think people should try hard to stop them from doing it. But ultimately it is their decision and it is their life, if they want to end it they have absolutely every right to ignore advice given from others and do so.

Yet again, I am quite sure a person committing suicide is not thinking of others but all of the pain they have experienced in life. I understand it might scar people, but at least then they might realise how bad problems can actually get for people and that suicide threats shouldnt be taken as a joke.

People die each day who love life... and others throw their life's away? mhmmmmmm no.

You can say I'm being harsh but suicide is pathetic.

It is a person's individual decision, no-one should ever be forced to live a life they hate. If I well and truly hated every single part of my life and couldn't see a good future, I would go out and attempt suicide. I don't support people being forced to live a life they don't want (hence why I am very against every strong Roman Catholic who claims it is a sin).

I DON'T SEE HOW IT IS PATHETIC IF A PERSON IS SO FED UP OF THEIR LIFE AND SEES NO WAY OUT.

Because I believe that things can and will get better if someone really wants to.

Because I believe that things can and will get better if someone really wants to.

What about if the person has a mental illness or a physical disability that restricts them to so little movement and requires them being reliant upon other people solely? What about someone who has an aggressive terminal illness that is only going to ruin their quality of life further.

Yes I understand where people come from by saying that things can get better, but for some people due to internal reasons they are literally incapable of seeing that and you shouldn't judge for that. You can escape many fears and threats but you can never escape what the mind tells you.

I believe the exact opposite. If someone wants to kill their selves, just do it. Obviously it's incredibly selfish and absolutely terrible for friends and family. My pet hate in life is people cutting, if you actually want to kill yourself, it's near enough impossible to fail at it - so do it properly instead of seeking attention when you fail.

O.T: it is terrible. However still believe it shouldn't be done in public in front of others who certainly don't want to see it. Do it at home where nobody can see and do it properly..
