Sad that he needed such a messy method. Not to mention even more
distressing to others close to him than alternative ways.
But a brave and pragmatic resolution to his situation.

As to your objection ("messy method"), yes, but it
does have the very positive advantage as to very high
chance of successfully completing the mission,
(around 82%) and being quick.

Sadly, too many try neater and cleaner methods, and fail,
and some linger as vegetables for sadly too long.
In Japan firearms are much more limited, cliffs
and jumping in front of fast transportation
is very messy, traumatic, and damaging.

"Live in urban Japan long enough and, as shocking as it sounds,
yourCOre eventually going to have the distinctly unpleasant experience
of riding a train that hits and more than likely kills a human being.
Even if you arenrCOt experiencing it firsthand, walking into a
Tokyo train station only to notice yet another train delay caused
by what is euphemistically described as a rCLbodily accidentrCY
is at least a weekly occurrence."

"The most common method of suicide in England and Wales for both
males and females continued to be hanging, strangulation and
suffocation (all grouped together). This method accounted for
58.1% of all suicides in 2020 (3,036 out of 5,224 registered
deaths). The second most common method continued to be poisoning
and accounted for 19.9% of all suicides in 2020 (1,041 out of
5,224 deaths).
Yuck! High failure rate and painful!
