Suicide by Everest?
I'm approaching a taboo theme here.
-
We see many stories of people taking the challenge because they're clearing bucket lists. Some of them have recently received terminal cancer diagnosis. These would prefer dying on this beautiful scenario other than on a hospital bed.
-
Many who try climbing the Everest are wealthy people and some of the wealthy believe in cryogenics terapy. Killing themselves on M.Everest allows for a 'natural cryogenics' center instead of needing to pay huge fees for a laboratory preserve your body in chemicals. Money that will soon or later run out (from your descendants/family).
-
While on Cryogenic Centers you know they could change/manipulate/do any sort stuff to test your body, by dying on a natural way and out of human intervetion, there are less chances of this happening.
-
It's a beautiful place to die.
-
If the person dies, third party opinions will be about the person "aiming his/her dreams", so it's a much better form of suicide for the public view than jumping from a building or taking pills.
-
The mountain is very large. A person can easily run away from Sherpa / guides. Choose a little hole and turn off the oxygen. No one will ever find this person.
What fo you think?
