SFAIK, it's "illegal" most places (as is suicide), but if the attempt is
successful, the "legality" is moot, n'est-ce pas?

It's not moot if you're the victim of someone's suicide, which can
happen.

A sick individual commited suicide by parking his car on a train track a
few years ago in the UK (Ufton Nervet) which killed 6 people in addition
to himself. And a parent trying to commit suicide taking their children
with them isn't completely unheard of either.

I find it ironic that in the UK railways' obsession with safety, in this
century, most rail travellers have been killed by car drivers, putting
their car on the tracks through intention, or by falling asleep at the
wheel.

And that victim, rightly, will sue your estate.

Only a twisted mind like yours would think that an appropriate statement
in the context.

But that's not leaping off of a tall building! (Although an episode of
one of the various incarnations of TV's "CSI" TV here had someone
committing "murder by suicide" - the perpetrator landed on an innocent
bystander who was exiting the building, killing the bystander, but
walking away from the scene, himself.)

You do. As quoted above Evelyn wrote:

and you replied:

So what were you talking about?

You do.


I appreciate English isn't your first language, but learn to read for
content, then get back to me. I _might_ decide to reply to your inane
comments then. Or I might not.

I'm referring to suicides causing death to other people- hence why it's
not moot.
