Suicide

[mammutly]

Just removed the direct link, the footage can be found via Budd Dwyer's entry on wikipedia.

Read the circumstances of his death before judging whether or not it is something you would want to see.

Dont watch it! I wish I hadn't!

That's about the biggest dare going!

Seriously, Bud Dwyer shot himself by placing a handgun in his mouth. He did so during a live press conference and the act was recorded in vivid detail. It is potentially traumatic to witness a human being actually dying such a gory death on film. So be careful.

just seen it - at least it's a quick way to go

lol don't panic, someone call a doctor...think it's a bit late for that pal. So much death around on the internet i don't feel anything when i see it now.

Wow. That video was brutal. How horrific it must've been for the people in the room witnessing it. Pretty selfish of him to do it in front of all those people, and television audience, imo.

It can be but a matter of time before someone who gets "buzzed off" Britains Got Talent does something similar.
I'm just trying to weigh up whether or not that would be a good thing or not...
Would have been one hell of a showstopper for Susan Boyle,although think of the mess had all of Flawless eaten the barrel...

Watch the Eva Mendez film "Live" and you'll realise that we're not that far off.

Despite the lovely Eva being in it, it's a pretty shite film, but the idea is there.

Don't know what persuaded me to watch Budds suicide but i enventually did. Brutal stuff...the ammount of blood that came rushing from his nose was unreal.
I know this might sound bad but it was selfish of him to commit a "public" suicide infront of potentially thousands of viewers, including children.

I agree.

It sparked a huge debate about censorship that still continues. As far as I know it was not broadcast live, but some news stations did show the unedited footage shortly afterwards and were heavily criticised for it.

Got about 16 seconds into the video, then chickened out. Not sure if I'll go back tbh, what the fuck would I want to watch that for?

I had a phase as a curious teen with internet in my room of watching bud dwyers and videos like that, not nice and a lot are hard to watch. I thought the worst one was some guy called kim sun il (somehting like that) who they made beg on video to his country to pull troops out, you could see the depseration in him and as you knew what was coming it was hard to watch. Paul Marshall was another one which was a close up, I couldn't bring myself to watch the Ken Bigley one. People getting stoned to death is very nasty shit as well, even more brutal than you'd think. Rememebr another one where it was just a vid of loads of people getting their tongues lobbed off, and another where a guy had his arm tied to the back of a car which drove off and ripped him in half. Ogrish is gone now I think they're all on liveleak? Dunno I don't watch em anymore

Suicide though, don't really think about it to be honest. Pretty sure that whatever way I chose to do it I'd be very drunk.

I watched the Ken Bigley one because I always want to know rather than be told. At the time, it made me more angry than I can ever recall a film of anything making me before. Suicide is one thing, brutal execution is quite another.
