Slitting wrists deeply, overdose on narcotics or barbiturates, a plastic bag over the head lightly tied around the throat. It allows slight air intake but you are soon enough overwhelmed by your own exhaling of CO2 which displace most of any clean air intake. Most individuals found like this apparently passed out or feel asleep slowly. No evidence they tried to remove the bad or touch it at all.
All of those methods take time.....getting drugs requires an illegal purchase (not easy). Asphyxiation creates panic (as in drowning, remember water boarding?). I think a slow decrease in oxygen may not be detected and the victim will fall unconscious and then die.....it can happen relatively rapidly, I am familiar with several cases. Carbon monoxide, I read, paralyzes first and the victim may want to change his mind and can't.... It was Dr. Kavorkian's preferred method for his last cases... A gun shot is quick and painless, but very messy....but still not 100% guaranteed... I have personally known more than a few suicides...
