Had a neighbor do that a few years ago...
Walked out in the yard, shot himself in the head.

Felt bad for his family (wife, kids). Thought it was decent of him at the time, to do it in the yard after the kids left for school.

Selfish, unforgivable, but decent.

The man reportedly started talking about killing himself over his impending divorce. He produced a handgun. A 32-year-old friend of the man tried to stop him. The man fatally shot himself in the head. The bullet then entered the head of the friend who was trying to stop him. The friend is now in intensive care.

Clue: If you're going to off yourself, do it in a secluded location where the coyotes can pick your bones clean, instead of acting out a made-for-TV drama in front of your friends or family.

I agree. It is extremely rude of someone to create such a mess for others indoors. Display a little courtesy and shoot yourself, slit your wrists, etc. outdoors. Thank you.
