nasty thing about trying to commit suicide by overdose is that its not like gunning yourself down to death (not that i tried this method, but its pretty obvious how quick suicide is by a gunshot anyway), lots of nasty effects after one swallows the pills. but then, i think you guys know that already. but if it was the first time he had an overdose, he probably didnt know what was coming. some ppl think of suicide and suddenly hated it when they commit it. lucky are those who were unsuccessful at it.
