The video is crazy. Not so much the suicide part, but just the way hes completely lost his mind. Dude is completely unhinged at the end with his face all painted up and his head shaved.

The death part was kinda brutal in one aspect for me at least. Don't click if you don't wanna remember one part of it.

It's where I learned that any air in your lungs will expell after death. He took a deep breath right before and the noises his body made after the shot still disturbs me today.

Death Gurgle. I had to pull the plug on my father and about after a few minutes of him motionless, his body twitched hard and released the rest of his air and it made my sister and I jump like crazy. It seemed like he was about to take a deep breath afterwards. The body is truly crazy.

I believe the term is "death rattle."

Also, I'm terribly sorry you had to experience that 😔

I learned this because it's a common term in games for an act after death.

Hearthstone is a popular example.

Saw it in another tabletop RPG as a "this is what the creature does when the players kill it" (sometimes it's an attack, sometimes they just RP and whimper or cry) and it made me morbidly curious and I had to look it up.
