OVERKILL 1999 Darwin Awards Urban Legend In France, Jacques
LeFevrier left nothing to chance when he decided to commit suicide.
He stood atop a sheer cliff and tied a noose around his neck. He tied
the other end of the rope to a large rock. He drank some poison and
set fire to his clothes. He even tried to shoot himself at the last
moment. He jumped and fired the pistol. The bullet missed him
completely and cut through the rope above him. Now freed from the
threat of hanging, he plunged into the sea. The dunking extinguished
the flames and made him vomit the poison. He was dragged out of the
water by a kind fisherman and was taken to a hospital, where he died
of hypothermia.
