    This may be my favorite proposed method of death. The death would be instant, there would be no chance of lingering brain activity, evil spirits would be purged and there would be no bio-hazard to manage. It would also be the ultimate form of recycling as the body would become part of the earth. The logistics would be difficult to organize and many other factors could indeed impede success.

    That would hurt like hell. Even if you're standing twenty feet away from lava, the heat radiated can burn you. As you walked towards the laval, you would burst into flames before you could leap in.

    It would not be instant unless you went head first, even then you would feel excruciating pain for a second or two. I've always believed the best way to go is a bullet to the head or a car crash. Some people don't even see it coming in a car, not to say thats always how it happens.

    A head on car crash is not a sure thing, Ive seen two and the people survived and were in a lot of pain.

    I also saw a Geo Tracker get hit straight on by a semi, did not kill the driver even though I saw her head go through the side window.

    i guess he would need to jump from a helicopter, or some other sort of great height.

    in which case, it would probably work just as well to go headfirst off a tall building.


    maybe if the molten lava were to fall on him...

    even shooting yourself in the head is not guaranteed death.

    The best way to die would be in your sleep. If I die violently though, I'd either jump off of a very tall building or suicide by cop. lol Both scenarios would involve massive amounts of drugs. I don't think I'd do the lava thing though. haha Fuck that.

    There have been many people who've survived bullets in their hearts.

    Rapper "The Game" was shot in the heart and he survived.

    Yeah but he received medical attention, most people who deliberately shoot themselves are not going to seek medical attention if the intent is suicide.

    someone might call the cops when they hear the gunshot though. paramedics can arrive even if the suicidal person doesn't call them.

    i don't think you would burst into flames just getting close to lava.

    If you dosed yourself up with loads of morphine+valium it might make it slightly less than excruciating, but other than that jumping into lava is not my preferred method of death.

    They say: -
    "To die in your sleep is the best way to go,
    Though without proof of this fact, just - how would they know?
    My view is to go out, with smile and a pleasure,
    And to do so to make, your last moments to treasure"

    That's a negative on the lava bath.

    For suicide, I would go for a drug overdose, possibly combined with jumping off a tall building, except people apparently tend to regret jumping as the ground closes in..

    Ideally I'll die from natural causes, hopefully old, and with loved ones around me.

    Wow...I love how you've thought about this hahaha.

    I'd agree with you, though. You become one with the earth and it is rather quick. I'd say any form of extreme burning would be an ideal death

    I agree with many of the replies here...it would not be instant and it would hurt like hell.

    I don't think you'd be able to finish walking to the lava, because your skin would be steam-cooked and falling off you before you got close enough to jump in.

    After reading all these posts,lava seems to be a very bad and painful idea.
