Not true. Art Bell said that he had a mouth full of pills, but then after thinking about it, decided not to commit suicide.
What little I know about Art Bell tells me that he's got a few screws loose.
But,apart from that,I worked in the ER of a very large hospital for 20 years.I may not know much,but I know a bit about Emergency Medicine.
Women,when the attempt suicide (with or without "success"),almost always use pills.The same is true of homosexual males.
Hetero males are far,*far* more likely to use violent means...as I suggested earlier.
Feel free to believe what you wish,but I've "been there,done that" (but only as a spectator).
