If you involve innocent parties in your death attempt, you lose any sympathy and support I may otherwise have felt for your situation.
I think I've mentioned this before but it bears repeating here. A friend of mine has worked for many years as a railway signalman. He told me of an incident involving a guy who committed suicide by standing on the tracks in the path of an oncoming express train. The driver saw him on the line and did all he could to avoid the inevitable, but there was no chance of stopping in time. The bloke just stood there, head bowed, then right at the last moment he raised his head, looked the driver full in the face... and smiled.
That poor driver, who was simply doing his job, never worked again.
